Prichard Colon is a renowned name among boxing fans and became a sensation during 2013 – 2015. He is an American-Puerto Rican former professional boxer and was reaching new heights with his every match, however, a tragic incident changed his life completely forever.

He became unable to step in the ring for his entire life so let us dive deep into the incident that completely turned his life upside down.

Prichard Colon is currently 31 years old, he is completely paralyzed and dealing with his post-coma phase. It was October 17, 2015, when he had a boxing match with Terrel Williams but he never knew what that fight would bring for him.

At that time his record was 16-1, he was confident enough to beat Terrel and continue his journey to be the next big name in boxing.

Boxing is an intensive sport that involves continuous risk of getting injured that’s why the regulation is the top priority of the sport.

However, the regulation is often questioned in Colon’s case because the referee didn’t stop Williams when he went against the rules. A recent video of Colon is going viral where he is revisiting the match that left him paralyzed for life.

Prichard Colon vs Terel Williams: A Dark Day in Boxing History

Boxing fans often call this day the dark day in boxing history because of several factors that you need to look at. The match between Colon and Williams was going fair and both were landing good punches.

However, the game turned brutal when Williams started hitting the back of Colon’s head. He didn’t stop until the referee interfered, went again for the same spot, and injured Colon badly.

The referee failed to stop William from hitting the back of Colon’s head and the fans started questioning the regulation of that match.

The punches were so brutal that Colon collapsed in the dressing room and his brain started bleeding, he wasn’t even able to breathe properly. He was shifted immediately to the hospital and went into a coma for the upcoming 221 days.

Now, he is recovering from the effect of brain damage and may never be able to be as active as he was once. He is paralyzed and uses a wheelchair to move.

He has also lost his speech and uses a device to communicate with someone but there are some little signs of improvement of his mental recovery and we hope he will recover soon from this tragedy.
