Nineteen-year-old boxer Isis Sio was placed into a medically induced coma after a knockout loss to Jocelyn Camarillo on Saturday in San Bernardino, Calif., ProBoxTV announced after broadcasting the fight.
Sio, who entered with a 1-2 professional record, was knocked out by a series of punches 78 seconds into the fight, which was the opener of the card. She was convulsing in the ring after the knockout and transported to Loma Linda University Health, where she was placed into the coma.
“On behalf of CEO Garry Jonas and the entire ProBox family, we are praying for a speedy recovery for Isis Sio,” read a ProBoxTV statement. “Ms. Sio is currently in a medically induced coma. Our thoughts are with her and her family at this very difficult time. Please join us in wishing for a full recovery.”
Sio was fighting at 107.5 pounds in the junior flyweight division, down from 114 and 118 pounds in her previous two bouts.
Camarillo, a three-time amateur national champion, entered with a 5-0 record with all her previous wins by decision.
