An Ohio boxing official says a
Michigan-based fighter has died days after he collapsed and lost
consciousness during his professional debut.
The boxer has been identified as
19-year-old Hamzah Ajahmi of Dearborn. Ohio Athletic Commission
executive director, Bernie Profato says Ajahmi died Tuesday at a
Youngstown hospital after undergoing brain surgery following Saturday’s
fight.
Profato says Ajahmi collapsed at the end
of the fourth and final round in a flyweight bout against an Ohio boxer
who also was making his professional debut. Profato says Ajahmi was
knocked down three times in the first round but rallied to win the
second and third rounds based on the judges’ scorecards.
