Raven Chapman brain bleed emergency surgery Denmark boxing

British featherweight boxer Raven Chapman, 32, collapsed during a sparring session in Denmark on July 24. Doctors diagnosed a brain haematoma and cerebral oedema and performed emergency surgery that stopped the bleeding and reduced swelling. She was placed in a medically induced coma, later taken off sedatives, and is now awaiting medically supervised repatriation to a hospital in the United Kingdom for rehabilitation.

Chapman's family are with her in Denmark and a GoFundMe page has been launched to cover costs. The boxing community, including former promoter Frank Warren, has expressed support. Chapman previously challenged Australia’s Skye Nicolson for the WBC featherweight title in Saudi Arabia in 2024 and holds a professional record of 10 wins and two defeats.
