British boxer Nick Blackwell will be brought out of his induced coma in the next two to three days, his family have revealed.
25-year-old Blackwell suffered a small bleed on the brain during his British middleweight title fight against Chris Eubank Jnr last Saturday, in which the bout was halted during the tenth round after the ringside doctor deemed Blackwell’s left eye too swollen to continue.
Blackwell had taken a number of fierce uppercuts from Eubanks Jnr, and he collapsed after the fight before being taken out of the Wembley Arena on a stretcher and rushed to St Mary’s hospital, where he was placed in a medically-induced coma.
However, Blackwell’s family expect the Towbridge-born boxer to wake up in the next few days, according to BBC boxing correspondent Mike Costello, as doctors begin to reduce the volume of drugs that he is receiving to keep him in the coma and allow his swelling on the brain to reduce.
"I'm told the vital signs are good and doctors are cautiously optimistic," Costello told BBC Radio 5 live. "There are no major issues within the context of his condition."

juncture of the semifinal match against West Indies, former captain
Sunil Gavaskar said it is “unacceptable for a spinner to bowl a
no-ball”. (STATS || POINTS TABLE || FIXTURES)
“The spinners are really not expected to bowl a no-ball. Fast bowlers, in their effort to ball a yorker or a bouncer, can sometimes overstep. Thus, for a spinner to bowl a no-ball is unacceptable. This is something you got to practice in the nets,” Gavaskar told ‘NDTV’.
