AI Summary

19-year-old boxer Isis Sio has awoken from a medically induced coma and is now breathing on her own after a knockout loss in her fourth professional fight.

Isis Sio, a 19-year-old junior flyweight boxer, has made a significant recovery after being placed in a medically induced coma following a knockout loss in her fourth professional fight. According to her promoter and family, Sio is now awake and breathing on her own.

Although still in intensive care, Sio has been weaned off the ventilator, as announced by ProBox TV on Monday. Her camp expressed hope for her continued progression and mentioned that she is under the care of three specialized medical divisions closely monitoring her condition.

The knockout loss occurred just 78 seconds into her bout against Jocelyn Camarillo at San Bernardino’s National Orange Show Event Center last Saturday. Camarillo, a three-time amateur national champion with a previous record of 5-0, secured the win.

Sio, born in North Dakota and the state’s only active female boxer, has faced challenges in her professional career, having lost three of her four bouts since her debut last September. Her previous fight also ended in a knockout loss due to a series of heavy body blows.

Camarillo expressed her respect for Sio, stating, “Nothing but respect. Keeping her in my prayers and wishing her healing and a full recovery,” on Instagram after the fight.
