Davey Browne Passes Away After Knockout Loss
According to Fairfax Media, 28-year-old Davey Browne, a father of two, has died in the hospital after he collapsed during a bout in Sydney's southwest last week. He was knocked out in the final round of his super featherweight title fight at Ingleburn RSL just before midnight on the evening of September 11.
Witnesses said he struggled to breathe and suffered seizures after being felled during the contest with fighter Carlo Magali.
His horrified family watched on as paramedics worked to stabilize him before he was rushed to Liverpool Hospital in a critical condition.
He never regained consciousness.
Browne made a return to boxing in 2013 after marrying and becoming a father.
He was preparing for a potential world title fight next year.
Australian stars Billy Dib and Daniel Geale among those to have offered Browne and his family their support.
Police have said a post mortem will be conducted and officers from Macquarie Fields Local Area Command will prepare a report for the coroner.
