Boxing Incident in California
In a concerning development from a recent boxing event in California, 19-year-old Isis Sio has been put into a medically induced coma after suffering a knockout defeat during her match. Sio faced 21-year-old Jocelyn Camarillo, a distinguished former three-time national amateur champion, on the undercard of the Lester Martinez versus Immanuwel Aleem showdown.
Details of the Match
The fight concluded unexpectedly at just 78 seconds into the first round, with Camarillo cornering Sio against the ropes and delivering a relentless barrage of punches that led to the referee halting the contest. Following the stoppage, Sio remained unconscious for several minutes and had to be transported from the ring on a stretcher.
Official Statements
ProBox TV later confirmed Sio’s condition, expressing their concern and support in a statement to World Boxing News.
“On behalf of CEO Garry Jonas, we are sending prayers for a swift recovery for Isis Sio. She is currently in a medically induced coma. Our thoughts go out to her and her family during this challenging time. We ask everyone to join us in wishing her a complete recovery,”
the statement read.
Reactions from Camarillo
Camarillo, who claimed her victory in the bout, acknowledged the gravity of the situation after the fight, stating,
“All glory to God. I came prepared and gave it my all. I’m thankful for the opportunity, but my heart is with Isis. I’m keeping her in my prayers and hoping for her full recovery.”
Sio’s Professional Background
Before this match, Sio entered the ring with a professional record standing at 1-3, having turned professional in 2025. Her only victory had come from a unanimous decision against Katelyn Radtka in November, while her recent performances were marked by a series of early losses. The light flyweight contender was still in the process of gaining valuable experience in her professional career prior to this unfortunate incident.
Event Context
The contest was part of a larger ProBox TV event that also featured Carlos Adames successfully defending his WBC middleweight title against Austin Williams. Further updates regarding Sio’s health status are anticipated soon.
