Unfortunate. I wonder if he had any strange medical condition? Would be interesting to see the results of the autopsy.

Could be a med condition pre-fight that went undetected (or unreported). But Kovalev has KOd 19 of 22 opponents so it could be that he just landed a few times in a tender spot and caused the injury during the fight. couldnt find autopsy results.
