Brutal Reality Of Boxing Sees Fighter Nearly Die After Losing Belts

Brutal Reality Of Boxing Sees Fighter Nearly Die After Losing Belts

No one can question the heart and genuineness of Teofimo Lopez.

The former undisputed champion and his loyalty to his father, and their genuine story, has been impressive to say the least to boxing fans.

It has emerged that Lopez was told by a doctor after his last fight and loss to George Kambosos last weekend he could have died.

Dr. Linda Dahl told ESPN:

“He could have died for sure.”

After it emerged he was suffering from pneumomediastinum (serious breathing issues of chest between the lungs) that he didn’t know about.

He lost his world titles and tasted his first pro loss but the main thing here is surely to concentrate on healing and getting better.

Forget everything and everyone else.

Other than God and those close to him.

Unbelievable story.

It just goes to show the brutal humanity that these brave athletes put themselves through for us boxing fans and mere mortals entertainment.

Time and time again.

Lopez posted the following today:

Get well soon.
