Abdusalamov suffers stroke; Family facing staggering medical bills; Team Abdusalamov establishing trust fund
Sampson Boxing VP Nathan Lewkowicz has confirmed via Twitter that fallen heavyweight contender Magomed Abdusalamov has suffered a stroke while fighting for his life in a medically induced coma at Roosevelt Hospital in New York City. Abdusalamov had to have emergency surgery to remove a blood clot, and part of his skull had to be removed to reduce swelling.


In addition, the family of the 32-year-old Russian boxer who earned $40,000 for his HBO-televised fight against Mike Perez Saturday night at the Madison Square Garden Theater, are facing staggering medical bills for Magomed’s treatment.

Sampson Lewkowicz, promoter of hospitalized Russian heavyweight Magomed “Mago” Abdusalamov, along with promoters Leon Margules and Lou DiBella, and with help and support of others in the industry, are establishing a fund and to donate and raise funds to help alleviate the financial burden the unfortunate brain injury Abdusalamov suffered Saturday night has placed on him and his family.

Abdusalamov’s family, including his wife and father, brothers, and three young children, along with his manager Boris Grinberg are keeping constant vigil at the hospital. He has also been visited by his entire promotional team.

“We are going to do what we need to do for Magomed. He and his family are going to need our help,” said Lewkowicz. “He is going to need financial assistance for the medical bills for his treatment, and for his family who are faced with an urgent financial crunch from this terrible accident.”

Deeply saddened by the unfortunate twist of fate that has befallen his fighter, Lewkowicz says he is happy to have already received so many offers of help, including one from middleweight world champion, Sergio Martinez.

“We cannot, as a boxing family, turn our backs on the brave men and women who compete in our sport when they need us most. We are going to do everything possible to help him get back on his feet. Magomed will never fight again, but he is a good man and a brave man with a nice family. We are going to make sure they all pull through this intact. That is the right thing to do. Every dollar will help.”

The Magomed Abdusalamov Trust is currently being set up. In the meantime, donations can be made two ways:

Interesting...didn't think Cotto would go over there so fast...rumor was he was still going to remain a FA and could fight on either network based on who paid more...but insiders thought he would stay with HBO out of loyalty. Hmmm....

Bowe is broke as fukk and I dont mean broke like his legs after his Muai Thai match I mean Courtdog pissy,cum soaked,shyt stain, bed bug infested matress broke!

yes, he is NOW. but...from what I know, all that came AFTER boxing and AFTER Neuman. Bowe was good for about 14 mil when he retired (they said he made about $21 mil total), then the nikka went crazy, tried to join the Marines, kidnapped the wife, did that bid. I said he WAS better off (meaning when he retired initially). When Bowe first left boxing he was straight, or he wouldve never quit. Tyson had 2 careers and is still broke (from what he used to be). Holyfield made over 100 mil and he cant keep his damn house. Bowe didnt get fukked while he was boxing. The reason why he went broke had nothing to do with the ring. Thats my point about why he and Neuman always wanted to stay independent.
