Russian boxer in coma after incident in Berlin subway (The Associated Press)
Russian heavyweight boxer Denis Boytsov has been placed in an artificial coma after being found with serious head injuries in a Berlin subway tunnel. Boytsov, who has a 36-1 record, was found lying in the tunnel between two subway stations in the upmarket Charlottenburg district of western Berlin on May 3. The 29-year-old fighter was placed in a medically induced coma because of swelling on the brain, a statement on Boytsov’s website said Tuesday. Berlin police said Tuesday that the case was still under investigation but that, based on witness interviews and video footage, the incident appears to have been an accident.
