Boxing:Sydney boxer Davey Browne Jr dies in hospital after title fight


A 28-year-old boxer has died of the injuries he sustained last week after competing in a boxing title fight in south-western Sydney.

Davey Browne Jr was knocked out by Carlo Magali of the Philippines in the last 30 seconds in the final round of a 12-round contest at the Ingleburn RSL club on Friday. The men were competing for the International Boxing Federation super-featherweight regional title.

Browne’s family decided to turn off his life support four days later.

Although the father of two regained consciousness after the knock-out blow, he then collapsed from his stool and was taken to Liverpool hospital in a critical condition suffering from brain injuries.
