Raven Chapman, a former world title challenger, is in a hospital in Denmark after collapsing during a sparring session last month.
Chapman was airlifted to a local hospital on July 24 and was placed in a medically induced coma after receiving surgery to stop the bleeding.
The 32-year-old has been taking off sedatives and is awaiting transfer to a hospital in the UK.
A statement released by Vote Boxing and Team Chapman on Wednesday read: “On Friday 24 July, Raven unexpectedly collapsed after a sparring session in Denmark.

“Emergency services were called immediately and she was airlifted to a local hospital.
“She was diagnosed with a brain hematoma and cerebral oedema.
“Raven underwent emergency surgery immediately. The procedure successfully stopped the bleeding and helped stabilise the swelling.
“She was then placed in a medically induced coma.
“Over the past day, she has been taken off the sedatives and is continuing to receive treatment while awaiting medically supervised repatriation to a hospital in the UK, where her rehabilitation is expected to take some time.
“Her doctors are doing everything they can to support her recovery and we remain hopeful as she continues to fight through this incredibly difficult time.
“Raven’s family are in Denmark supporting her during this incredibly difficult time.
“We kindly ask that their privacy is respected.”

Chapman previously held the WBC International featherweight title and was beaten by Skye Nicolson in a bid for the WBC featherweight world title in 2024.
The Norfolk fighter also challenged for the British featherweight title, losing by unanimous decision to Karriss Artingstall last March.
’The Omen’ was last in action in June, stopping Georgia Klein in four rounds in June.
