"Maxim Dadashev has been rushed to hospital for brain surgery after his TKO loss to Subriel Matias in Maryland.

The Russian boxer underwent surgery at the University of Maryland's Prince George Hospital Centre in an attempt to reduce swelling on his brain.

Matias pounded Dadashev throughout the 11th round of the fight, and the Russian had difficulty making it back to his corner.

McGirt then took matters into his own hands and told the referee he wouldn’t be continuing...."
