Adonis Stevenson, who was in critical condition after suffering a stoppage in Saturday night’s fight in Quebec City, has since been upgraded to stable condition. According to his promoter Yvon Michel, he has been placed in an induced coma to facilitate his recuperation.

Stevenson faced Oleksandr Gvozdyk in a light heavyweight world championship bout and lost by knockout in the 11^thround. He was slow getting back to his feet, and although he was able to walk out of the ring, he was carried out of the arena by stretcher and taken straight to the hospital.

In a press conference following the fight, Michel stated that Stevenson appeared confused and they were concerned he had a concussion. Michel has been keeping the public informed via his official twitter account. Below are his initial statements:
