Isis Sio, a 19-year-old boxer, has been placed in a medically induced coma after suffering serious injuries during her match on Saturday night.
The women’s junior flyweight was knocked out in the first round of her fight against Jocelyn Camarillo in the opening bout of ProBoxTV’s card in San Bernardino, Calif.
During the fight, Sio was battered against the ropes by a series of punches to the head by Camarillo before collapsing onto the bottom rope just over a minute into the match.
The referee quickly ended the bout and Sio received immediate medical attention. She reportedly could be seen convulsing as she left the arena on a stretcher and was taken to Loma Linda University Health medical centre for treatment.
“On behalf of CEO Garry Jonas and the entire ProBox family we are praying for a speedy recovery for Isis Sio,” ProBoxTV posted on its social media account Sunday. “Ms. Sio is currently in a medically induced coma. Our thoughts are with her and her family at this very difficult time.
“Please join us in wishing for a full recovery.”
The bout was just Sio’s fourth as a professional and was her second consecutive knockout loss. She now holds a record of 1-3 after turning pro in Sept. 2025.
What did Camarillo say about the fight?
The 21-year-old Camarillo extended her undefeated record to 6-0.
Early Monday, Camarillo posted on Instagram that while she is “grateful for the moment,” she is praying for Sio’s recovery.
“All glory to god. came prepared, gave it my all,” she posted along with a series of pictures from the day of the fight. “Grateful for the moment but my heart is with Isis and keeping her in my prayers and wishing her a full recovery.”
“Our thoughts are with Isis Sio and her family as she remains in a medically induced coma following her recent fight,” DAZN Boxing posted on X on Monday afternoon. “We are wishing her strength during this difficult time.”
The extent of Sio’s injuries remain unclear, as well as how long she will be in a coma.
