Subsequently earlier this year in 2017 according to the Washington Post, the family of Prichard filed a $50 million lawsuit against the physician of the fight on the night, as well as naming Headbanger’s Promotions and DiBella Entertainment in the suit who were the co-promoters of the fight card on the night.
On a positive note however, a new video has been released by the PBC showing Prichard moving his head a little and making some progress at the moment:
