Patrick Day in a coma following brutal fight against Charles Conwell

One of the most promising stars in boxing is fighting for his life following brutal shots to this face this past weekend.

Freeport’s Patrick Day was knocked out cold by Charles Conwell during the undercard of Oleksandr Usyk v. Chazz Witherspoon in Chicago. Following multiple shots the face, with one that sent him between the ropes at one point, a final shot dropped him to the floor. As Conwell was celebrating the knockout, something felt different. Day (17-4-1) wasn’t moving and the doctors immediately rushed to his aid.
