A 24-year-old Muay Thai fighter, whose identity remains undisclosed, has died following his hospitalization after participating in the AMC 13 Fight for Hope tournament at Singapore's National Stadium on September 12. The police confirmed his death on Monday, September 28.
The fighter was rushed to the hospital unconscious following the tournament, conducted over three weekends in August and September to raise funds and awareness for Breast Cancer Foundation Singapore. The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) reported receiving a distress call at around 7.05pm on the tournament's final day at the National Stadium. One individual was transported to Tan Tock Seng Hospital.
The Singapore Muaythai Association (SMA), which organized the event, confirmed the incident in a statement on September 17. On-site medical teams administered assistance before the fighter was conveyed to the hospital. The association denied claims that the fighter had been knocked out during the event, stating these claims as untrue.
Both competitors were present during the result announcement and left the ring unassisted. The SMA has initiated a formal review in collaboration with relevant parties to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident. Preliminary investigations do not suggest foul play, and ongoing investigations are being conducted.
