Boxer Alejandra Ayala, who faced Marie-Ève Dicaire in 2018, is in a coma following a K.-O. suffered against Hannah Rankin last Friday.
According to the American magazine "The Ring", the 33-year-old Mexican is in "stable condition" in a hospital center in Glasgow, Scotland.
"My thoughts, prayers and well wishes go out to Alejandra, her family and her team at this time," Rankin tweeted.
This sad situation is reminiscent of the tragedy of Jeannette Zacarias Zapata. This 18-year-old Mexican boxer died last September in Montreal following her fight against Quebecer Marie-Pier Houle, after spending a few days in a coma.
