Prichard Colon Dies at 33 After Decade of Brain Injury from 2015 Boxing Match
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 collapsed post-fight due to a subdural hematoma and underwent emergency surgery, spending 221 days in a coma. He never regained normal speech or mobility and required constant care. The fight was controversial due to illegal blows to the back of Colon's head. Terrel Williams expressed remorse and retired from boxing in 2019 after a brief comeback.
