Umar Sadiq, a British boxer of Nigerian descent has been rushed to the hospital after suffering a devastating defeat to former WBA champion, Fyodor Chudinov in Russia.
The 32-year-old started coughing out blood after his loss in the 12th round through a technical knockout and required an oxygen mask to survive near Moscow.
Report has it that the super-middleweight boxer needed immediate medical assistance before getting to the hospital.
“Umar was hospitalized,” a source told a local Russia TV, adding that the boxer began to “cough up blood” in the process. However, no additional information on his medical condition was disclosed afterward.
Sadiq was knocked down 40 seconds into the final round of the WBA gold belt fight, and that was his second defeat in a 12-fight career so far.
