Sad news hit Zimbabwe as a 24-year-old boxer, Taurai Zimunya has kicked the bucket shortly after going unconscious during a bout in the ring last week Sunday evening, October 31.
Taurai clashed with Tinashe Majoni of Charles Manyuchi Academy in a lightweight bout at the Rise of Champions fight series in Harare, and in the course of the fight, Tinashe knocked down Taurai which resulted in the latter’s collapse on the canvass and later rushed to Parirenyatwa Hospital on oxygen support for further treatment.
According to a report by Ghbase.com Taurai remained unconscious while doctors at Westend Clinic conducted scans to figure out the source of the injury but before the health workers could save him, Zimunya died in the early hours of Monday.
Although the doctors were not conclusive yet with what culminated in his death, everything pointed to the fact the severe injuries he sustained during the fight contributed to his death.
“A boxer has died after a referee failed to stop a fight where he was visibly unable to continue. Taurai Zimunya, 24, was hospitalized at Parirenyatwa Hospital following the non-title bout in Borrowdale on Sunday. The boxing board said it was “shaken” by the incident,” @ZimLive captioned a short video of the fatal knock-out moment on its Twitter page.
