Green hospitalized with brain bleed after devastating knockout loss
Professional boxer Green is being treated in hospital for a brain bleed after suffering a devastating loss to Daniels on Saturday night. The incident has reignited debates about fighter safety and medical protocols in professional boxing, with the boxing community rallying around the stricken athlete.
The fight, which took place at the Manchester Arena, saw Green absorb several heavy blows before being stopped in the seventh round. Following the TKO loss, Green was immediately taken to hospital where scans revealed the brain bleed. He remains in stable condition but is expected to remain under observation for several days.
"This is every boxer's nightmare," said former world champion. "We accept the risks when we step into the ring, but brain injuries are on a different level. Our thoughts are with Green and his family during this incredibly difficult time."
The boxing world has united in support of Green, with social media flooded with messages of encouragement from fans, fellow fighters, and governing bodies. The British Boxing Board of Control has confirmed they are reviewing the circumstances surrounding the bout and the medical protocols observed.
Green's team released a statement confirming he was receiving the best possible care. "Anthony is in good hands at the hospital. He's surrounded by his loved ones and we're grateful for all the support from the boxing community. We'll provide further updates when we have them."
Medical experts have emphasized that modern safety protocols and quick referee intervention likely prevented more serious consequences. The brain bleed will require careful monitoring and a prolonged period of rest before any discussion of a return to the sport can begin. Green's promoter has confirmed that no further fights are scheduled and the focus is entirely on his recovery.
The incident has sparked calls for enhanced pre-fight medical screenings and improved monitoring during fights, with some suggesting independent doctors should have greater authority to stop bouts earlier when fighters show signs of distress.
