A female boxer who touched death after a match in Glasgow last year is now soon to become a mum.
Alejandra Ayala was knocked out in the 10th round of her WBA and IBO super-welterwight title against Scottish fighter Hannah Rankin. Alejandra's family were told her brain injury was so severe it was likely she would die - however, against all the odds she is a picture of health as she is soon to welcome her first-born child.
One year on from the ordeal, 34 year-old Alejandra from Mexico is not only thankful for her life but is looking forward to bringing a new one into the world. The mum-to-be married Mexican former MMA champion fighter Israel Quintero in January after he supported her through her recovery journey, and the pair are now expecting a son next month, reports the Record.
