American boxer Patrick Day has died after he sustained head injuries in a fight last week against fellow countryman Charles Conwell.
Day, 27, was knocked out in the 10th round of his super-welterweight bout in Chicago on October 12 and fell into a coma, with his promoter confirming Day’s death on Wednesday, reports The Guardian.
“He was a son, brother, and good friend to many,” said a statement from Day’s promoter Lou DiBella.
