Zab Judah now works as a Nursing Assistant!

Kal Yafai on Twitter saying that Judah suffered a bleed on the brain, but there seems to be very little news on it?
Fucking baffles me that to get your Pro licence, you have to jump through a million hoops , and rightly so.
But once you’ve got your licence, you can fight no matter whether you’re fit to or not.
I’m not saying there was anything untoward specifically in this case, but he’s 41 years old and clearly fighting out of desperation. Sometimes people need to be saved from themselves.
This has got tragedy written all over it.

Apparently it isn't as serious as first thought, he had a bleed on the brain but it went down, he's not been placed into an induced coma and he has been up talking and eating today.

Good to hear. While its always sad to hear about former champs fighting on too long and getting hurt, there isnt much that can be amended to stop it from happening. Im sure Judah was fit to fight, has no prior history of any brain trauma that I know of, and beforehand most wouldnt have seen any problem, it was a fine competitive fight on paper. It is crazy how it seems a theme for these very talented guys who were seen as lacking grit or determination at their peak, to start facing the big risks and taking their licks only once they are physically shot. Judah really impressed me years ago with his efforts against Matthyse and Garcia, showed exactly the kind of stuff people thought he didnt have in his day. Roy Jones was another one, when he was a freak and atop the sport he fought a bunch of clowns, then well after hes finished takes fights like Lebedev in Russia etc. Just goes to show how hard it must be for these guys to accept its over.

Well said. Sounds like Judah dodged a bullet and surely his final fight.
