Boxer Prichard Colon Dies at 33 After Decade of Brain Injury from 2015 Fight
Prichard Colon, a Puerto Rican boxer, died at 33 after living over a decade with severe brain injuries sustained during his 2015 fight against Terrel Williams. Colon suffered repeated illegal punches to the back of his head, leading to a subdural hematoma and emergency surgery. He spent 221 days in a coma and remained in a vegetative state, unable to walk or speak. His family cared for him until his death, which has prompted discussions on boxing safety and reforms named in his honor. Terrel Williams expressed remorse and retired in 2019 after a brief comeback.
