Abdusalamov suffers stroke; Family facing staggering medical bills; Team Abdusalamov establishing trust fund

Sampson Boxing VP Nathan Lewkowicz has confirmed via Twitter that fallen heavyweight contender Magomed Abdusalamov has suffered a stroke while fighting for his life in a medically induced coma at Roosevelt Hospital in New York City. Abdusalamov had to have emergency surgery to remove a blood clot, and part of his skull had to be removed to reduce swelling.
In addition, the family of the 32-year-old Russian boxer who earned $40,000 for his HBO-televised fight against Mike Perez Saturday night at the Madison Square Garden Theater, are facing staggering medical bills for Magomed’s treatment.
Sampson Lewkowicz, promoter of hospitalized Russian heavyweight Magomed “Mago” Abdusalamov, along with promoters Leon Margules and Lou DiBella, and with help and support of others in the industry, are establishing a fund and to donate and raise funds to help alleviate the financial burden the unfortunate brain injury Abdusalamov suffered Saturday night has placed on him and his family.
Abdusalamov’s family, including his wife and father, brothers, and three young children, along with his manager Boris Grinberg are keeping constant vigil at the hospital. He has also been visited by his entire promotional team.
“We are going to do what we need to do for Magomed. He and his family are going to need our help,” said Lewkowicz. “He is going to need financial assistance for the medical bills for his treatment, and for his family who are faced with an urgent financial crunch from this terrible accident.”
Deeply saddened by the unfortunate twist of fate that has befallen his fighter, Lewkowicz says he is happy to have already received so many offers of help, including one from middleweight world champion, Sergio Martinez.
“We cannot, as a boxing family, turn our backs on the brave men and women who compete in our sport when they need us most. We are going to do everything possible to help him get back on his feet. Magomed will never fight again, but he is a good man and a brave man with a nice family. We are going to make sure they all pull through this intact. That is the right thing to do. Every dollar will help.”

That is tragic. How far do you think Junior dos Santos was from a similar predicament? Granted, Junior dos Santos is insured.

don't know but doesn't the UFC do brainscans of their fighters before a fight happens, boxers like abdusalamov are just putting their lives on the line and not getting shit for it, don't even have insurance. They just lease him a house and lease him a car and make money hyping up his fights in the end he's uninsured and left in a ton of medical debt because his manager can't get his shit straight, dat fuckin joo

I watched the fight live and remember him saying to his corner " Am I very swollen? My face feels like it is very swollen." I was surprised his corner did not take into account that he was worried about it, considering the punishment he was taking. Usually fighters do not make those types of comments. Brutal fight, sad story.

yea bro his corner was basically just John David Jackson he switched trainers from Mikey Garcia to John David Jackson and his cornerman was his own brother and his Father was there too, he probably didn't want to quit because of the pride or shame of quitting now look at him he's a fukn crippled for life

but there's also valid questions as to why he doesn't have insurance and why the doctors didn't even check his pupils during the fight. This is unprofessional to say the least

This is very sad but why the family need donations when he is a pro boxer.

As stated, he did not have insurance. He only made 40K for that fight.

Don't say that to loud okay?. Here in American we have such a huge group of jackasses who are conned by politicians into believing we have the best health care system in the world. The same politicians here conned these ass wipes into thinking socialize medicine is evil when in fact these coksuckers have socialize medicine.
