Ardi Ndembo, a heavyweight boxer who was put in an induced coma following a knockout loss in a Team Combat League fight, died Thursday at the age of 27, per Joseph Staszewski of the New York Post.
Ndembo was competing against Nestor Santana on April 5 in Miami when he suffered a knockout that left him unconscious in the ring for "several minutes." He was taken to a Miami hospital where a coma was induced, and he succumbed to the injuries three weeks later.
"We at Viva Promotions mourn the loss of Ardi Ndembo, a talented Congolese boxer who tragically passed away after a knockout in a Team Combat League match on April 5," the promotion said in a statement. "He remained in an induced coma until his untimely death. RIP Ardi Ndembo!"
Jeff Mayweather, the uncle of legendary boxer Floyd Mayweather, is a member of the Las Vegas Hustle team that Ndembo represented in the Team Combat League and was ringside for the fight against Santana.
"Boxing's a sport where you grow up watching it and loving it, but there's so much risk involved," Jeff Mayweather told SunSport. "Anyone can lose their life from boxing. When something like this happens, it wakes up the whole entire world. I don't think boxing's a bad sport because you can die in any sport. You drive a race car at 200mph, if it slides, you're going to die too. You can die in any sport but boxing is a brutal sport."
WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman also paid his respect to Ndembo:
A GoFundMe page set up to support Ndembo's family has raised nearly $14,000 of this writing. The Team Combat League said it will match the total donations up to a maximum of $25,000.

Seriously doubt a punch caused this. This was something else. Nothing really landed
I've seen something like this but not to this degree, dude was severely dehydrated but he at least made it out of the round before he passed out. That's what this looks like to me. Seizure due to severe dehydration maybe trying to make weight and didn't properly rehydrate. Dude was probably seeing stars and everything.

So probably like a heat stroke or something, seen it too. It was slow and violent like this. Hope breh is good
Yep, definitely looked like some sort of heat stroke
Yeah looked like a seizuremaybe he was having a stroke
This was my first thought. An artery from a punch could've burst in his head causing internal bleedingmaybe he was having a stroke
How can I watch this TCL promotion?
