The Japanese southpaw collapsed in the ring as the result of his rematch with Taduran, which he lost via split decision, was announced – he was then stretchered out of the arena.

The former IBF light-flyweight champion was immediately rushed to the hospital after losing consciousness following the gruelling war, in which he failed to exact revenge on Taduran.
The 25-year-old, who was undefeated before his consecutive losses to his Filipino foe, currently remains in a medically induced coma.
He required emergency craniotomy, which involves removing part of the skull, which has brought about the end of his career.
An update from his representatives read: “According to JBC [Japanese Boxing Commission], Japanese Former IBF Champion Ginjiro Shigeoka has suffered from an acute subdural hematoma and has already undergone a craniotomy.
“G. Shigeoka is still currently under observation in a private hospital in Osaka, Japan.
“The commission has already enforced that Shigeoka has to retire from boxing following his craniotomy procedure.”
Japanese Boxing Council rules prohibit boxers who have undergone any type of brain surgery from holding licenses, even if they make a full recovery.
Shigeoka, the younger brother of former WBC light-flyweight titleholder Yudai, currently remains under observation.
