British boxer Raven Chapman was airlifted to hospital and placed in a medically induced coma after suffering a brain bleed following a sparring session in Denmark on 24 July.
The 32-year-old former world title challenger collapsed after training and was taken by helicopter to hospital, where she was diagnosed with a brain haematoma and cerebral oedema.
Her management company, Vote Boxing, said Chapman underwent emergency surgery to stop the bleeding and reduce the swelling before being placed in a medically induced coma.
Vote Boxing said Chapman's doctors were "doing everything they can to support her recovery" and that they remained "hopeful as she continues to fight through this incredibly difficult time".
A GoFundMe page has been launched to help raise funds, while messages of support have poured in from across the boxing community, including former promoter Frank Warren.
