Boxer Patrick Day died Wednesday from brain injuries sustained during a brutal knockout loss on Saturday, his team announced.
Day (17-4-1) was knocked down 3 times — once in the 4th, again in the 8th and finally in the 10th — by 21-year-old rising star Charles Conwell during Saturday’s fight at the Wintrust Arena in Chicago.
The final knockdown was particularly brutal — Day’s head bounced off the canvas and the ref immediately stopped the fight.
Medical personnel rushed into the ring, Day was taken out of the ring in a stretcher and loaded into an ambulance which transported him to a nearby hospital.
Patrick Day was 27.
Prayers going up for his family, friends, and fans.
Rest in peace, Patrick.
