A 19-year-old women's junior flyweight boxer has been put into a medically induced coma following a first-round knockout during a fight in California. According to reports, she was rushed to Loma Linda University Health medical centre shortly after the incident for further treatment. The bout was stopped immediately by referee Ivan Guillermo following the knockout as ringside medics attended to the teen boxer in the ring.

According to an ESPN report, Isis Sio, a prospect early in her professional boxing career, was knocked unconscious during the opening fight of a ProBoxTV card on the night of Saturday, 21 March, at the National Orange Show Event Centre in San Bernardino. She had been facing unbeaten opponent Jocelyn Camarillo when a series of head shots ended the contest just over a minute into the first round.
