Despite securing an impressive and dominant victory, 21-year-old Conwell didn’t celebrate, and didn’t look like he’s taking his eyes off his beaten opponent.
He was being talked to, and barely smiled as the referee raised his arm as the winner of the match.
Day who suffered a seizure before he was taken to the emergency room, was placed on a stretcher and rushed to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in an ambulance.
Day slipped into a coma at some point during his time at the hospital and placed on a breathing tube. However, reports are unclear if doctors placed him in a medically induced coma to help with any swelling on the brain.
