Boxer’s injury raises doubts about the sport

One of the doctors who worked the boxing match Saturday in Quebec City that left Adonis Stevenson hospitalized in an induced coma said he and his colleagues are at a loss to medically justify the sport. “I can’t say we can justify it,” Jean Dore said. “It’s a question a lot of doctors are asking, especially doctors within the sport.” As of Monday evening, Stevenson, the 41-yearold Montreal-based fighter known as “Superman,” remained in intensive care in a Quebec City hospital after a knockout by Oleksandr Gvozdyk of Ukraine. The hospital described the fighter’s condition as stable.
