most likely subdural hematoma or an undetected cerebral aneurysm. RIP

I knew a girl who died of a cerebral aneurysm. She felt headache and dizziness, then just collapsed in the shower, and was pronounced dead in the hospital. She was only 20.

No. There are really cowards in boxing!

Imma say you've never been in a real fight in your life cause you always ran from a fight so I'm calling you a coward!

There is a pic on the article page, but no name? What was the kids name? What happened exactly?

RIP to the kid either way. Boxing is dangerous & the body can be more fragile then we wanna believe in particular when you're young & you feel indestructible.

Eddie Bilby, from a boxing family in Derby. Apparently the lad didn't take any flush, hard punches, and collapsed post-bout after thanking coaches etc

RIP. I'll bet it was avoidable, though. Probably an inexperienced referee or corner urging their fighter on despite the warning signs.
