Glasgow Hydro boxer who almost died after fight will never return to ring

A Mexican boxer who almost died after a fight at Glasgow's OVO Hydro has revealed she will never return to the ring.

Glasgow Live previously reported that Alejandra Ayala suffered a brain injury after being knocked out in the 10th round of her WBA and IBO super-welterweight title fight in May. She was in the ring with Hannah Rankin from Luss, West Dunbartonshire.

Medics treated the 33-year-old at the scene before she was rushed to Glasgow's Queen Elizabeth University Hospital. Alejandra, from Tijuana, was put into an induced coma and endured a number of operations.
