Tributes have flooded in from the boxing world following the tragic death of Russian boxer Maxim Dadashev, who died after suffering a bleed on the brain as the result of an 11th-round TKO loss on Friday.
Dadashev's trainer Buddy McGirt threw in the towel after the 11th round of his fight with fellow undefeated contender Subriel Matias after the Russian suffered a further round of heavy punishment at the hands of the Puerto Rican.
The 28-year-old appeared unsteady on his legs, leading McGirt to pull his man out, confirming the first loss of his 14-fight career. Upon leaving the ring, Dadashev collapsed and lost conciousness in an ambulance.
He was transported to hospital where he underwent a two-hour operation for a subdural hematoma – a brain bleed – on the right side of his skull and received treatment to reduce swelling.
On Tuesday it was reported he had died from heart failure as a result of his injuries. The boxing world is subsequently in mourning, and poignant messages of remembrance and respect have been made in memory of the fighter known as 'Mad Max'.
Rest In Peace, Maxim Dadashev. #Boxing is a very unforgiving sport. We cant make it safe, but we can make it safer. We can also rally to economically help his wife and son. We must take care of our own. This is heartbreaking news.

This is terrible news – and a bleak reminder to those who never step into a ring and yet feel able to mock and ridicule some fighters. Boxing carries such grave consequences. Read More – Source
