A Puerto Rican professional boxer dies at age 33, about 10 years after a fight leaves him with a traumatic brain injury, according to his father and former trainer. The family posts that he suffered the injury in the ring and never fully recovered afterward.
Outlets describe the same incident from different angles. Yahoo Sports reports that the boxer does not regain speech after being knocked into a coma during a 2015 bout. The New York Post focuses on the timeline of his death—arriving roughly a decade after the injury—and notes that his father, Richard, and his former trainer share the news on social media. Both accounts tie his long-term condition to the 2015 traumatic brain injury sustained during the fight.
