Irish boxer, John Cooney is in intensive care after his defeat to Welshman Nathan Howells at the Ulster Hall over the weekend.
Cooney was stopped in the ninth round of the fight on Saturday and subsequently underwent surgery.
In a statement, Cooney's promoter Mark Dunlop said: 'Following John Cooney's epic title fight at the Ulster Hall on Saturday evening Josh was assessed by the onsite medical team of the British Boxing Board of Control and swiftly taken to Belfast's Royal Victoria Hospital for further treatment.
'On arrival at the RVH it was discovered that John had an intercranial haemorrhage and underwent immediate surgery to relieve the pressure on his brain.
'John is currently in the intensive care unit and in the capable hands of the hospital ICU team.'
Cooney won the title with victory over Liam Gaynor in Dublin in November 2023 but spent a year out of the ring with a hand injury before returning with a win over Tampela Maharusi in October.
Howells released a statement on social media on Monday to wish his opponent a speedy recovery. He said on Instagram: 'I know a few of my lot have been asking about John and I've been waiting to hear myself. I haven't heard anything yet but here's the latest update from the promoter.
'Genuinely never wanted for any of this to happen, I just went out there to box. I wish nothing but the very best for John an his family and hope he comes home safe and sound. I don't actually know him myself, but he seems like a really respectful and nice man.
'What I do know is he's a fit and strong young man and he can beat this and come out the other side. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends and he will forever have my respect.
'We shared a ring together and the boy never once quit or looked for a way out. Get well soon mate - all the best.'
