Russian in coma after Berlin subway incident
Print Edition
RUSSIAN heavyweight boxer Denis Boytsov has been placed in an artificial coma after being found with serious head injuries in a Berlin subway tunnel.
Boytsov, who has a 36-1 record, was found lying in the tunnel between two subway stations in the upmarket Charlottenburg district of western Berlin on May 3. The 29-year-old was placed in a medically induced coma because of swelling on the brain, a statement on Boytsov’s website said yesterday.
It was not until late Monday that Boytsov was publicly identified as the man injured in the incident. Although born in Russia, he has been based in Germany for more than a decade. Berlin police said yesterday that the case was still under investigation but that, based on witness interviews and video footage, the incident appears to have been an accident.
The statement on Boytsov’s website suggested he had been the victim of an attack linked to his career. Boytsov last fought in March, when he beat Brazilian fighter Irineu Beato Costa Jr.
