Boxer collapses mid-fight with apparent seizure as referee immediately waves off bout
A BOXER collapsed mid-fight after suffering an apparent seizure.
Tramaine Williams was representing NYC Attitude in Team Combat League against Ryan Allen of Las Vegas Hustle.
And just minutes into the bout, Williams went down without being punched and began to have a seizure on the floor.
The quick-thinking referee immediately waved off the fight and concern turned to Williams’ health.
Thankfully, the former super-bantamweight world title challenger revealed on Instagram he was discharged from hospital.
He posted: “I’m good, the doctor said I was too dehydrated. I’m good though.”
Williams has a record of 20 wins, two losses and one no-contest and in 2020 lost for the 122lb WBO title against Angelo Leo.
But he signed up for this year’s TCL, a unique format where boxers in different weights compete as a team over a series of 18 rounds.
Some only box for one round with the total scores added up at the end.
And despite Williams’ scare in the ring, the match continued with NYC Attitude beating Las Vegas Hustle 172-166.
Tragedy struck in TCL in April when heavyweight Ardi Ndembo lost his life following a knockout in the ring.
Ndembo passed away three weeks after being put in a coma following the KO against Nestor Santana.
