Boxing-Australian fighter’s death prompts calls for ban (Reuters)
Australia’s peak medical authority has called for a ban on boxing after a local fighter died in hospital on Tuesday, four days after being knocked out in a regional title bout. David Browne Jr was floored by a punch from Filipino Carlo Magali in a super featherweight bout in Sydney on Friday. Browne remained in a coma until his family made the decision to turn off his life support on Tuesday, state media reported.
