WBO #6 cruiserweight David Light (20-1, 12 KOs), who fought twelve rounds against WBO cruiserweight champion Lawrence Okolie on March 25, has suffered a “mild stroke” and undergone successful surgery for “clot retrieval” at Waitakere Hospital in Auckland, New Zealand.
Shortly after returning home, the 31-year-old Light underwent a CT scan that came back clear. He was diagnosed with a delayed concussion and discharged. However, after continuing to experience problems, Light returned to the hospital, where further testing revealed a blood clot. Doctors expect him to make a full recovery.
Just goes to show, even though it was a shit fight, one of them sustained serious injury…
Sounds like a TIA, I had one on a flight to Tenerife last year, scary at the time, but all’s good now. (Hopefully)!!………..
David Light is fighting elite Cruisers and gets by on toughness and grit. Has a good engine but not a mover and limited power. Light gets hit with too many clean shots to the head. I hope he retires. Too much heart is dangerous in boxing.
Bleeds in the brain may not be detected on CT scans till after a few days from the injury. The extent of the bleed and location of the injury has much to do with the results of the test. In most cases, CT scans are repeated 24-72 hours after a head injury if symptoms warrant the issue.
I wonder if he will keep fighting? Its tough when its your livelihood.
