Chapman thanks trainer and donors after 'freak' injury

Boxer Raven Chapman expressed her gratitude to her trainer Stuart Scott and donors after suffering a brain bleed during a sparring session in Denmark on July 24th. The 32-year-old was rushed to the hospital and placed in a medically induced coma following the incident. Chapman recounted how she felt perfectly fine going into the spar, which was the third round of the week, and wasn't acting out of character.

Trainer Scott noted the unusual behavior and immediately called for an ambulance, preventing further harm. The procedure successfully stopped the bleeding and stabilized the swelling. A fundraising campaign was launched to support Chapman's recovery, which garnered £97,792 in donations from prominent boxing figures and the boxing community.

Chapman, though saddened by the inability to pursue her dreams of winning a world title, is focused on utilizing the fundraising money to ensure her long-term recovery and continued involvement in the sport, such as hitting the pads and bags.
