08:55, 4 November 2013
NEW YORK. November 4. KAZINFORM – Heavyweight Mgomed Abdusalamov (18-1, 18KOs) now is in stable condition in the intensive care unit of St Luke's – Roosevelt Hospital Center in New York, Team Abdusalamov told BoxingScene.com on Sunday.
However, Abdusalamov still is in a medically induced coma. Abdusalamov was hospitalized early Sunday morning in New York and placed in a medically induced coma after suffering a small blood clot on his brain. Abdusalamov suffered the blood clot after the HBO-televised brawl with Mike Perez, which Abdusalamov lost by decision. He also sustained a broken hand and nose. He was placed in the medically induced coma to reduce the possibility of any serious complications stemming from the blood clot.
