Boxer Prichard Colon Dies at 33 Following 2015 Brain Injury in Ring
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 blows to the back of his head, leading to a subdural hematoma and a 221-day coma.

Terrel Williams expressed remorse and retired from boxing in 2019 after a brief hiatus.
