British boxer Raven Chapman underwent emergency brain surgery following a collapse after a sparring session in Denmark on July 24. The 32-year-old athlete, who contended for the WBC world featherweight title in 2024, was diagnosed with a brain hematoma and cerebral edema. She was subsequently placed in a medically induced coma to manage the bleeding and reduce swelling.

Chapman’s management company, Vote Boxing, confirmed the sequence of events leading up to the surgery. Medical teams intervened promptly to address the critical condition, and she remains under close observation. This week, Chapman was taken off sedatives as part of her ongoing treatment and is expected to be repatriated to a hospital in the United Kingdom under medical supervision.

In response to the situation, a crowdfunding campaign has been launched to assist with her medical expenses. The boxing community and supporters have rallied around Chapman during her recovery. Further updates regarding her condition and rehabilitation plans are awaited as she continues to recover from the serious injury.
