Brit boxer Connor Coghill in hospital as scans find bleed on brain a week after knockout loss on Wood vs Warrington card
BRITISH boxer Connor Coghill is in hospital with a bleed on his brain a week after suffering a devastating knockout loss.
The featherweight star is under observation after complaining of headaches since appearing on the Leigh Wood vs Josh Warrington card.
Coghill fell to a 12th round technical knockout defeat against Hopey Price in Sheffield on October 7.
Price won the WBA continental belt as he handed Coghill his first professional loss.
The 28-year-old had been knocked down four times before referee Bob Williams stopped the bout in the final round.
His trainer Stefy Bull has now confirmed is in a stable condition in hospital.
Writing on X, formerly Twitter, Bull said: “Connor has had headaches since his boxing contest last week in Sheffield.
“Obviously it’s devastating news for Connor as boxing has been his life since a young age.
“He’s stable and resting and wanting people to respect his time during this difficult period.
“Everyone at Stefy Bull Promotions are praying for a full recovery and wish him good health. We will keep you all updated.”
Former central area champion Coghill has a 14-1 pro record following his loss to Price.
The Hull fighter had thanked his fans for their support following the bout last week.
“The support I had before and maybe even more so after the fight has been incredible,” he told the Hull Daily Mail.
“I had people coming up to me at Hull Fair telling me how well I’d done and how much they enjoyed the fight. It was nice to get those comments.”
