South African boxer Ludumo Lamati is now alert and eating following a worrying spell in the hospital where he was placed into an induced coma.
In the heat of a hellacious battle with Liverpool’s Nick Ball, Lamati collapsed in the aftermath. The worst fears were realized as he was carried from the ring on a stretcher.
In the following hours, Lamati fought for his life and seemed to have come through the other side with improvements on the daily.
Boxing 5 Promotions have continued to update fans on the excellent progress made by Lamati, who is now hoping to be moved to a new ward outside of the ICU.
“Our Champion is making progress every day and has started eating,” said Boxing 5, “We await further details from the Doctors if he is moved to a new ward with the progress he has made.
“We cannot thank everyone enough for the kind messages and prayers. Keep those positive thoughts and prayers coming!”
