Top Rank Boxing, the Russian fighter\u2019s promoter, confirmed he passed away Tuesday morning. \u201cMaxim was a talented fighter inside the ring and a loving husband and father outside the ropes,\u201d the statement read. \u201cOur thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Friday night, Dadashev took part in a fight card at the MGM National Harbor<\/a> in Oxon Hill, Md., just outside Washington, DC. He fought Subriel Matias in a junior welterweight bout billed by TopRank as an International Boxing Federation world title eliminator, with the winner earning the right to become the mandatory challenger for titleholder Josh Taylor.<\/p>\n

Both fighters entered the scheduled 12-round contest with 13-0 records. Matias won all of his matches by knockout, and Dadashev took 11 of his in such fashion. The IBF ranked Dadashev as the No. 3 fighter in the super lightweight, and the World Boxing Council rated him fourth in the class.<\/p>\n

\n

Matias took command of the fight early and ended up winning by a technical knockout when Dadashev\u2019s trainer, Buddy McGirt stopped the fight \u2013 despite Dadashev\u2019s protests \u2013 before the final round. According to the Washington Post<\/em>, Dadashev collapsed outside the ring. He then lost consciousness in the ambulance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cI just think that he took a lot of shots, totally dehydrated,\u201d McGirt, a former boxer himself, told the Post<\/em> after the fight. \u201cI believe he needs [intravenous fluids]. He took a lot of shots, and every time I gave him water, he kept spitting it out. Those were 11 tough rounds, so I just pray that he\u2019s okay.\u201d<\/p>\n

Leaves Wife, Son<\/h2>\n

Dadashev was taken to the University of Maryland\u2019s Prince George\u2019s Hospital, where doctors performed emergency surgery for bleeding and swelling of the brain. He was also placed in a medically induced coma.<\/p>\n

His wife flew from Russia to be by his side. He is also survived by his son.<\/p>\n

He was a very kind person who fought until the very end,\u201d <\/span><\/strong>said his wife, Elizaveta Apushkina, in a statement provided by the hospital.<\/span> \u201cOur son will continue to be raised to be a great man like his father. Lastly, I would like to thank everyone that cared for Maxim during his final days. I ask that everyone please respect our privacy during this very difficult time.\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Numerous boxers posted their condolences and thoughts of their colleague on social media throughout the day.<\/p>\n

Egis Klimas, his manager, posted a tribute to Dadashev on Instagram, next to a picture of him with his wife and son.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe always will be in our hearts and memory as strong very discipline, very dedicated, true Champion,\u201d Klimas posted. \u201cHe lived with one dream, to become a Champion!!! In my opinion he still and always will be one! Hey Max just stay there and wait for us. R. I. P.\u201d<\/p>\n

Violent Sport<\/h2>\n

Given the brutal, violent nature of boxing<\/a>, serious injuries or death can happen anytime two fighters step into the ring. No recent studies are readily available, but the Manual Velazquez Collection<\/em> reported more than 1,600 deaths occurred in the sport from 1890 to 2011.<\/p>\n

Tim Bradley Jr., a former boxer who served as an analyst for Friday\u2019s fight card for ESPN+, said in an interview with FightHype.com<\/em><\/a> afterward that boxers never come out of the match the same way they entered it.<\/p>\n

He also criticized trainers who tell their fighters to take punches.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe game is hit and don\u2019t get hit, and don\u2019t let nobody tell you any different,\u201d he said. \u201cIf you\u2019re in the gym and your trainer is telling you to take punches. Take punches to get one off\u2026 You need to leave that gym ASAP. Leave that gym ASAP because that\u2019s exactly what happened tonight. Dadashev took punishment over the course of (11) rounds and now his life is on the line.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
