Boxing fans finally got some good news, and honestly, it was about time. After a scary moment in the ring, Isis Sio is now awake and breathing on her own following that brutal knockout by Jocelyn Camarillo. Yes, that knockout. The one that made everyone suddenly sit up straight and stop pretending they understand boxing strategy.
Let’s be real for a second. Boxing is all fun and games until it’s not. One minute it’s gloves, hype, and ring walks, the next minute, someone is down and the entire arena goes quiet. And that’s exactly what happened when Sio took that hit. It wasn’t just a knockout, it was the kind that makes people rethink their life choices.
Sio ended up in a coma, which immediately took this story from “sports highlight” to “everybody panic.”
The positive health update came from ProBox TV on Monday afternoon, a day after it was revealed that Sio was in a coma and required a ventilator to breathe … following her junior flyweight bout at the National Orange Show Event Center in San Bernardino, California, on Saturday.
“We have some promising news to share. Isis is no longer in a medically induced coma, has been taken off the ventilator, and is now breathing on her own,” the statement read.
“We are awaiting further updates from her medical team.”
Video circulating on social media shows the opening round of the four-round fight … with Sio, wearing pink shorts, taking brutal head shots from Jocelyn Camarillo before collapsing to the canvas.
Sio was transported to the hospital after the knockout, immediately sparking concerns for her well-being.
Thankfully, the latest update seems to indicate the 19-year-old is making progress.
The good news is Sio is on the road to recovery. And that’s the only headline that matters right now. Wins, losses, knockouts, they can all wait.
For now, the focus is simple, she’s awake, she’s breathing and that’s a much bigger victory than anything that could happen inside a ring.
