The family of Stephen McMullan say the Belfast boxer will get out of hospital next month.
The Newington ABC heavyweight has been receiving treatment since being taken to hospital after fighting in the Ulster Elite final on December 9 last year. Stephen fell ill the day after losing to Monkstown's Charlie Boyle at Girdwood Community Hub.
He spent five weeks in Intensive Care at Royal Victoria Hospital before being moved to the stroke ward. He was then transferred to Musgrave brain injury unit for "intense rehabilitation" in April.
