Russian boxer Maxim Dadashev has died at the
age of 28.Dadashev was fighting for his life with "severe brain damage" following his brutal defeat to
Subriel Matias in Maryland last Friday.
Dadashev collapsed in front of fans as he made
his way out of the the arena at the MGM National
Harbor after suffering a subdural haematoma, a
bleed on the vein beneath the skull.His condition is said to have deteriorated rapidly after arriving in hospital.
Boxing manager Egis Klimas claimed Dadashev
underwent emergency surgery to have the right
side of his skull removed in an attempt to reduce
the brain swelling.But Russian outlet RT have reported the Russian has died in a hospital in the US - one day after Moscow celebrated its annual 'International Day of Boxing'
The 28-year-old had won all 13 of his previous
fights before the brutal defeat to Matias in the
States.He was also a silver and bronze medallist in the Russian championships before turning professional. His trainer Buddy McGirt was forced to halt the 140-pound world title eliminator bout with Puerto Rican Matias after the 11th round.
Heartbreaking footage of the incident showed
McGirt pleading with Dadashev to let him stop the
fight.
The clip shows a weary Dadashev making his way
to the corner when McGirt tells him: "I am going
to stop the fight.
"Max, I am going to stop it. Please let me do this,
you are getting hit too much."
