Stevenson’s condition improving

Canadian boxer Adonis Stevenson was yesterday upgraded from critical to stable condition and remained in an induced coma after being knocked out on Saturday night in his light heavyweight title fight.

Boxing promoter Yvon Michel tweeted about the 41-year-old Stevenson’s condition.

“The state of Adonis has gone from critical towards stable from yesterday to today which is a relatively good news. He is in controlled sedation to facilitate his recuperation.” Michel said.

Oleksandr Gvozdyk stopped Stevenson after two minutes and 49 seconds of the 11th round to take the Canadian’s WBC light heavyweight title.

Stevenson was put on a stretcher after the bout and left in an ambulance.
