British boxer Raven Chapman was airlifted to hospital and placed in a medically induced coma after suffering a brain bleed following a sparring session in Denmark on 24 July.<\/b><\/p>\n

The 32-year-old former world title challenger collapsed after training and was taken by helicopter to hospital, where she was diagnosed with a brain haematoma and cerebral oedema.<\/p>\n

Her management company, Vote Boxing, said Chapman underwent emergency surgery to stop the bleeding and reduce the swelling before being placed in a medically induced coma.<\/p>\n

“Over the past day, she has been taken off the sedatives and is continuing to receive treatment while awaiting medically supervised repatriation to a hospital in the UK, where her rehabilitation is expected to take some time,” the statement said.<\/p>\n

Chapman has won 10 professional fights with two losses. <\/p>\n

The Norwich-born fighter lost to Skye Nicolson<\/a> for the WBC featherweight title in October 2024 in the only women’s world-title fight ever to be held in Saudi Arabia. <\/p>\n

Vote Boxing said Chapman’s doctors were “doing everything they can to support her recovery” and that they remained “hopeful as she continues to fight through this incredibly difficult time”.<\/p>\n

The statement added that Chapman’s family are with her in Denmark. <\/p>\n

A GoFundMe page has been launched to help raise funds, while messages of support have poured in from across the boxing community, including former promoter Frank Warren.<\/p>\n

“Raven is fully in my thoughts this morning. I’m really hoping she can pull through and get home safely. Everyone at Queensberry is behind you, Raven. We’re all hoping you can pull through this,” Warren wrote on X.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
