MOSCOW, June 30. /Corr. TASS Igor Lazorin/. The Russian boxer, who suffered serious injuries and a stroke, began talking to his loved ones. The athlete’s wife Bakanai reported this to TASS.

Abdusalamov on November 2, 2013, during a fight with Cuban Mike Perez, received a severe traumatic brain injury, as well as fractures of his arm and jaw. He was taken to hospital where he suffered a stroke. The boxer was placed in an artificial coma, in which he remained until December 10 of the same year. The athlete underwent craniotomy to remove blood clots, and his broken jaw was also operated on. Abdusalamov spent a certain period of time in a rehabilitation center. In mid-September the athlete was discharged home. Now he takes food on his own, but he still cannot move without help.

“He doesn’t really speak, but I understand him,” said the boxer’s wife. “He speaks quietly, but he tries to do it, although not everything is clear. I am his translator. In general, our youngest daughter is a great medicine for him. She tries to be close to him, hug him. He smiles when he sees her."

On this moment Abdusalamov's right side of his body is completely paralyzed. "While our left side is working, the right is not. I am gradually starting to give him regular food, although he usually eats everything from a blender. But he looks much better and fresher, he has gained weight well. Maga is trying to draw, writes our names. In general , we are making progress,” added the TASS interlocutor.

The wife of 34-year-old Abdusalamov also noted that doctors note progress in the athlete’s condition, but do not give encouraging prognoses.

“At the beginning, the doctors told us that he wouldn’t survive, he wouldn’t think,” noted the boxer’s wife. “But I proved them the opposite. He’s getting better. And the doctor said three months ago that he wouldn’t be able to walk. But we don’t think about it.” this, we believe in the best. He no longer has such lost eyes, like before. I heard that Denis Boytsov (a Russian boxer who is recovering from serious injuries) was told that he will return to normal life and will walk. But if he can do it, then we can too!”

Immediately after the incident, world champions Sergei Kovalev, Ruslan Provodnikov, Sultan Ibragimov, Khabib Allahverdiev and Russian promoter Andrei Ryabinsky, who paid for part of the athlete’s treatment, expressed a desire to help Abdusalamov.

Treatment of Magomed Abdusalamov costs $20-30 thousand monthly

According to the athlete’s friend Amin Suleymanov, treatment and rehabilitation in the USA for Magomed Abdusalamov costs about $20-30 thousand a month.

“Now Maga and his family live with me,” said Suleymanov. “At first everyone helped, but now only I am left. While he was in a rehabilitation center, treatment cost $50 thousand a month. Now we take him from home, I spend my money "to help Maga. In total, it costs between $20-30 thousand. There is city insurance, but it does not cover everything."

Suleymanov also said that Abdusalamov was happy when he saw the fight between Russian Alexander Povetkin and Mike Perez. Povetkin knocked out the Cuban in the first round at the end of May.

“I showed him the fight, he understands everything, recognizes people. He himself was sure that he would knock out Perez. But in the first round, Magi had a broken arm, and what could he do? Just survive... He watched Povetkin’s fight, especially there were no emotions, although he was a little happy,” the agency’s interlocutor said.

Abdusalamov had 19 fights in the professional ring, won 18 victories (all by knockout) and suffered one defeat. He received the World Boxing Council (WBC) champion medal.

Professional athletes always run the risk of serious injuries that can leave them disabled for the rest of their lives or even kill them. Several examples of similar cases that ruined the lives of famous athletes await you further. Attention, this post contains pictures that we do not recommend viewing to overly impressionable people.

Elena Mukhina. The gymnast, the leader of the USSR national team, was destined to become the champion of the Moscow Olympics, but a terrible injury received a few weeks before the competition in training radically changed her life.

Elena's coach's name was Mikhail Klimenko. He began training her at the age of 14, before that he had worked only with men, and decided that her “trick” should be a specially created the most complex program.

Three years later, Elena became second in the all-around at the USSR Championships and won three golds at the European Championships. The following year, she won the overall national championship and won three golds at the world championship in Strasbourg.

The first serious injury overtook her in 1975 during the Spartakiad of the Peoples of the USSR in Leningrad. The separation of the spinous processes of the cervical vertebrae was the result of an unsuccessful landing. Mukhina was admitted to the hospital: the athlete could not turn her neck.

But every day after the medical rounds, Klimenko took the gymnast to the gym, where he removed the orthopedic collar, so that Lena could train there until the evening. Even then, the athlete felt her legs begin to go numb; recognized the feeling of weakness, which later became familiar to her.

Despite this, the athlete did not give up performing, and during demonstration performances in the fall of 1979 in England she broke her leg. I spent a month and a half in a cast, after which it turned out that the bones had separated.

The plaster was applied again, but the coach did not wait for recovery and sent Mukhina to train in the gym on one healthy leg.

Complicating Mukhina's program in anticipation of Olympic Games, Klimenko included a new element in floor exercises: after a float and a very difficult jump (one and a half somersaults with a 540-degree turn), the landing had to occur head down in a somersault.

This element was called the "Thomas somersault" and was taken from men's gymnastics. Mukhina recalled that she repeatedly told the coach that she lacked speed and height, and she literally risked breaking her neck. Klimenko believed that the new element was not dangerous.

“I saw myself falling several times in a dream,” Mukhina recalled. “I saw how they were carrying me out of the hall. I understood that sooner or later this would really happen. I felt like an animal being driven with a whip along an endless corridor. But again and again I came into the hall. Perhaps it’s fate. And they don’t take offense at fate.”

It is believed that Klimenko, when leaving, forbade Mukhina to independently train Thomas’s somersault on the platform, only in the foam pit, however, the girl still decided to perform the program in full, including the new element.

“That day, Lena didn’t feel well, but the coach insisted that she do a run-through, show the entire program with maximum difficulty in floor exercises,” said former gymnast Lidia Ivanova. “In one of the difficult jumps, when Lena had already gone into the air and started twist, she either relaxed, or her injured ankle failed her: Mukhina didn’t spin enough and hit the carpet with all her might.”

In Minsk, for some reason, they were unable to operate on the gymnast immediately after her fall, although immediate surgical intervention could significantly ease Mukhina’s situation; she was transported to Moscow.

After the first operation, others followed, but they did not bring visible results. The gymnast remained almost completely paralyzed: she could not stand, sit, or even simply eat food.

“After all these countless operations, I decided that if I want to live, then I need to escape from hospitals. Then I realized that I need to radically change my attitude towards life. Don’t envy others, but learn to enjoy what is available to me. Otherwise, I can go crazy. I realized that the commandments “don’t think badly,” “don’t act badly,” “don’t envy” are not just words,” Elena said.

The gymnast could not forget her coach, who remained in her memory closely connected with the nightmare of the past. When the athlete learned that Klimenko, who had left for Italy with his family shortly after the tragedy, returned to Moscow, her condition deteriorated sharply. Mukhina categorically refused to meet with him.

Clint Malarchuk. On March 22, 1989, the Buffalo Sabers goaltender was standing in goal as usual during a match with the St. Louis Blues when Steve Tuttle and Uwe Krupp, who had collided a second earlier, flew into him.

Tuttle accidentally damaged Malarchuk's jugular vein with his skate blade: a fountain of blood poured onto the ice, plunging the stadium into a state of shock.

Many of Malarchuk's teammates vomited, and spectators began to faint. In a few seconds, the hockey player lost almost a liter of blood, and then lost the same amount on the way to the hospital,

Physiotherapist Jim Pizzutelli was able to stop the bleeding by squeezing the vein and handing the hockey player over to the doctors. Surgeons managed to save Clint's life by giving him more than 300 stitches.

After an injury, Clint Malarchuk left his sports career and became a children's coach, but experienced terrible psychological problems and twice tried to commit suicide, but miraculously he managed to survive clinical death as a result of poisoning, and escaped with a couple of scars after attempting to shoot himself.

Roni Keller. The incident occurred in 2013. Opposing team player Stefan Schnyder pushed Keller, causing him to fly head first into the boards at great speed.

The resulting spinal injury turned out to be fatal.

Roni was not only unable to return to his sports career, he was left paralyzed forever. One day, his sports future and carefree life were crossed out.

Stefan Schnyder took his guilt seriously and even turned to a psychologist. In honor of Keller, his jersey number 23 hung on the bench for all the remaining games of the Swiss championship.

Julissa Gomez. The American gymnast suffered a terrible injury during a vault in 1988: at a competition in Japan, she slipped on the springboard and crashed headfirst into the vault pommel.

Julissa was completely paralyzed; her life was supported by resuscitation equipment.

A few days later, another misfortune happened in the hospital where the gymnast was taken: due to a technical malfunction, the artificial respiration machine to which Gomez was connected stopped working.

This resulted in severe brain damage and a catatonic state. Julissa's family cared for her for three years. She died in Houston in 1991. infectious disease at the age of 18.

Brian Clough. On December 26, 1962, Bury defender Chris Harker full speed ahead his shoulder crashed into the football player’s knee, resulting in him suffering a ruptured cruciate ligament - at that time there was no worse injury.

“For almost the first time in my life, I lost my balance and hit my head on the ground,” Brian later recalled what happened. “I passed out for a second or two. When I woke up, I saw that Harker had released the ball. The striker’s instinct gave me the command to rush for him. I tried to get up, but I couldn’t...

Clough returned to the field in September 1964 in a match against Leeds and scored a goal in the first meeting. But he only lasted for three games, after which he decided to leave, became a coach, but at the same time suffered from alcoholism.

Billy Collins Jr. The 21-year-old American boxer was a successful and promising athlete. The fight with Luis Resto was supposed to be another passing fight for him on the way to stronger opponents.

Resto took the initiative into his own hands from the very beginning of the fight, Billy did not have time to recover from the crushing blows, and by the end of the fight he had turned into a complete bloody swelling.

The victory was awarded to Resto (pictured), but Collins' father and part-time coach pointed out to the judges that his opponent's gloves were too thin and demanded that they be re-checked.

To their horror, the soft padding was deliberately removed from the front of Resto's gloves before the fight, and the boxing bandages were pre-soaked in a plaster solution: the effect of the blows that Collins missed was comparable to being hit by stones.

Luis Resto (pictured) and his coach were put on trial for this act and subsequently went to prison. Collins suffered serious injuries to his face, primarily to his eyes - a ruptured iris and a fractured orbital socket.

This caused his vision to deteriorate significantly and he was unable to return to professional boxing. The injury also affected the athlete’s mental state - he began to drink. Less than a year after the high-profile fight, Collins died in a car accident.

Sergei Pogiba. The winner of the World Cup in sports acrobatics in 1992, during the warm-up of the national championship, tried to perform the second exercise.

The athlete went into a propeller, but lost his orientation in the air and landed on his head instead of his feet. The ambulance immediately took him away.

Doctors made a terrible diagnosis - a fracture of the sixth cervical vertebra. It took me a long time to recover after that. Sergei Pogiba is paralyzed; his lower body remains motionless.

Ronnie Ziesmer. On July 15, 2004, an accident happened to a German gymnast who was competing for medals at the 2004 Olympics: during training, the athlete fell and also injured cervical vertebra.

As a result, the gymnast's arms and legs were paralyzed. The accident occurred during the floor exercise when Ronnie was doing a double somersault.

In one of the best medical centers Berlin received a disappointing diagnosis: According to the clinic's chief physician, Walter Shafarczyk, "Ronnie will most likely never be able to move his paralyzed arms and legs."

The doctors' predictions came true - Ronnie Ziesmer is still confined to a wheelchair, but his arms are not paralyzed and he fights for every millimeter of movement.

In the fall of 2013, boxer Magomed Abdusalamov miraculously escaped death due to an injury received in the ring. His wife Bakanai Abdusalamova told Roman Moon how she raised her husband to his feet.

Magomed Abdusalamov became famous in 2005, becoming the Russian heavyweight champion in the amateur ring. Not making it to the Olympics in Beijing, he turned professional. Over the next five years, the boxer had 17 fights and won all of them ahead of schedule. He fought very spectacularly, often taking risks and completely forgetting about defense.

At the beginning of 2013, Magomed rose to fourth place in the WBC rankings and began to be considered as a contender for a fight against world champion Vitali Klitschko. His new opponent was Cuban Mike Perez.

In the fight with Perez, Abdusalamov suffered his first defeat in the professional ring. Magomed received fractures of his left arm, nose, facial bone and a traumatic brain injury, which resulted in brain swelling and a blood clot. A few hours later, Abdusalamov was put into an induced coma. A few days later he suffered a stroke. It was reported that the boxer has almost no chance of survival, but he is alive and has already begun to speak.

Magomed Abdusalamov and his family live and recover in the USA. His treatment costs 20-30 thousand dollars a month, he was helped by promoter Andrei Ryabinsky, boxers Sergei Kovalev, Ruslan Provodnikov and others. Roman Moon called Bakanai Abdusalamova in New York and found out how her husband was returning to life.

“I immediately realized that something had gone wrong. I know my Maga. He doesn’t sit down after a round when he feels good, he was even interviewed about it. And then he immediately sat down. At the same time, his face was shown - his eyes looked somehow lost. In general, everything was wrong that day. My 10-month-old daughter was crying and being capricious. They say that children feel everything.

Even in a regular job, you don’t know what will happen tomorrow. You can go out into the street and get hit by a car. But, of course, I was afraid for him. Once, when he was knocked down, I thought: “That’s it, let’s quit boxing. We don't need boxing anymore." I was in a position then, I cried a lot. But he would still have stayed boxing. His goal was to become a world champion. He had fans, everything was for their sake. He said he couldn't let them down.

He seemed to be doing well. I constantly asked him after fights: “Does your head hurt?” He said: nothing hurts, everything is fine. If I had known that this would happen to him, I would have locked him in a cave.

But I can’t say anything about this. Everything is done only through a lawyer.

I remember when he was in intensive care, we were not allowed to do anything, not even touch him. He was all swollen. There is ice all around, a blanket of ice underneath, and the ice itself. This was all necessary because his temperature rose after the operation.

I looked at him and didn’t believe that this was my Maga. Everything was like a dream. So many tubes, so many IVs on it. I didn’t understand how this could happen to my strong and handsome Magomed. I went to see him at the hospital along the highway, which he had not allowed me to go on before. But I had to. An hour there, an hour back.

Two months later we were transferred to a rehabilitation center. There were fewer tubes, but he still didn't move. I remember what the room was like: he was lying there and three others. She showed him different colored papers and said: look at the red, the yellow, the green. I wanted to understand whether he was thinking, because the doctor said: he can’t think now, he has damage to the place that is responsible for thinking. I ask Magomed: what is two plus two? Three plus one? He answers, moves his fingers, barely, but shows. I show him to the doctor and say: “See, you said that he can’t think.” The doctor is surprised: “I can’t say anything.”

He had trouble opening his eyes. I opened one, but the second one does not open. As it turned out, he had fluid in his brain and head. When he opened his eyes, it was, of course, joy. The first time he quietly said something to me, I danced around his bed with joy. He looks at me and seems to show me: what’s wrong with you, are you crazy or what?

It seems that we were discharged in September 2014, I took him home. Then it turned out that in the first hospital where he was in intensive care, they developed bedsores on his tailbone. They treated me for a long time, then in November they had surgery. There was an infection inside – we spent another two months in the hospital. We have already been told that he almost has sepsis in his blood. I almost had a heart attack myself. Then she told him at home: “That’s it, Maga, that’s enough already.”

In November-December last year he became worse. The good thing is that when you call 911, they arrive in one minute. His blood pressure dropped, there was some kind of infection, he was in the intensive care unit, he was just fine. I sat, sobbed and thought: “We pulled you out, why again?” But we got through that too.

Now the children are on holiday from school, and my day usually starts at seven. I send the children to school with breakfast, then I start feeding him, washing him and shaving him. As a deputy of the People's Assembly, I have to have him shaved every day. I dress him, then the procedures, then to the rehabilitation center. There he works out, gets tired after about an hour, and goes home for lunch.

At 4 o'clock we have medicine. When the weather is good outside, we go out with the children to the park for a walk. I turn on the music, the children dance, he smiles, he likes to look at the children. In the evening, dinner and sleep.

At night I set alarms because I need to turn him every two to three hours to prevent bedsores from forming.

We live in the house of Magomed’s friend, Amin Suleymanov. He helps me lift Magomed out of bed and put him in the bathroom. He put him in the car in his arms and helped take him to the rehabilitation center. The nurse comes sometimes, but I couldn’t cope without his help. I couldn’t really speak English then either.

Right now Magomed is lying on the sofa in the living room, the children are lying on another sofa and watching a film. He can already hug and smile. But he has Right side the body does not work at all: neither arm nor leg. Even when he smiles, it is only on one side. Left-hand side works, but he cannot, for example, get up on his own. He can’t even sit on his own yet, I hold him. When we talk, he speaks very quietly. People around me don’t hear him, but I understand him, I’m used to it. We started eating quite recently, and before that he had a tube in his stomach, and they poured liquid food into it. He couldn't drink either.

I remember how I dreamed that he would open his eyes and move his finger. He couldn’t do anything then, but now he’s conscious, I’m constantly whispering something to him, the children are running around him, he’s smiling. For his situation, this is already great progress. The hardest part is, of course, behind us. But there is a lot of work ahead. I want him to get up and walk.

In America, when he was first admitted to the hospital, we ran after the doctors, asked what would happen, but they couldn’t even say whether he would live. They didn't want to take responsibility. Only one doctor said: “Be patient, wait, he is young and strong.” He was also unsure, but at least he supported us a little. Another doctor recently told me: “To be honest, he won’t walk.” I say: “Let’s remember that he shouldn’t have lived.”

The other day I asked another doctor: “When do you think he will move?” He says, “Let me show you a picture of his brain.” Showed that he was damaged left side, there is a gap where the brain died, there is liquid. There is another zone, everything is dark there, the doctor said: “Let’s hope that it will brighten up and something will change.” I say: “Let's look not at the picture, but at him. A month ago and now – do you see the difference?” Doctor: “Yes, I see a difference, he looks better.” I say: “Then turn off your picture. Let's look at it."

As the boxer’s wife Bakanai Abdusalamova said, Magomed understands literally everything, recognizes his family and friends, and tries to speak. Magomed has good left hand control and constantly does exercises - squeezing a rubber ball, pulling an expander, throwing and catching a ball. The right hand reacts to stimuli, but only the fingers move, and the hand itself is still motionless. The same situation applies to the right leg. But Magomed even tries to write with his left hand, although this is not easy for him. The fact is that despite the fact that Magomed is left-handed, before the injury he wrote right hand. Magomed loves to hug his children and wife and blows kisses to them.
Magomed pays special attention to youngest daughter: calls her to him, hugs her, touches her cheek, does not let her go. Magomed is able to distinguish colors and do arithmetic operations in his head. Swallowing reflex in Lately has also improved significantly. While doctors allow Magomed’s family to give him only pieces of ice, the medical workers themselves have already begun feeding him ice cream, yogurt and fruit juice, and Magomed himself is able to hold a spoon in his hand and bring it to his mouth. When the swallowing reflex is restored properly, doctors will completely abandon tube feeding.
Health workers say that the progress of the swallowing reflex is directly related to the progress of the speech apparatus: when swallowing improves, speech also improves. In fact, this is how it happens, because... Magomed has recently begun to pronounce more words, and almost every day the stock of spoken words is expanding.

“Today when I was leaving home, I asked Magomed what he would like to tell me,” says Bakanay. - He told me “happily”, and then paused and added “drive carefully.” He speaks quietly, but I’m already used to it and understand him very well. Lately, Magomed also senses when he needs to go to the toilet and lets him know about it.”

Let us recall that on November 2, 2013, Magomed Abdusalamov, who at the time of the fight with Perez was ranked fourth in the WBC rating, during the fight received fractures of his left arm, nose, facial bone and a traumatic brain injury, which resulted in brain swelling and a blood clot.
During surgery After removing the blood clot, part of the boxer’s skull was removed to reduce the pressure of the swollen brain on the skull, but unfortunately, by that time multiple brain hemorrhages had already occurred, aggravating the boxer’s already serious condition.

After the operation, doctors put Magomed into a medically induced coma and gave him almost no chance of survival.
Magomed could not breathe on his own, was connected to an artificial life support apparatus and long time was in a comatose state.
After the doctors managed to “wake up” Magomed, his condition began to slowly improve. Periods of improvement alternated with periods of being in a state of crisis, but after progress became obvious, doctors transferred Magomed to a specialized rehabilitation center for patients with brain injuries. After this, Magomed underwent surgery to reconstruct the skull and several other operations. Since then, the boxer's general condition has been steadily improving.

Magomed Abdusalamov was one of the main hopes of Russian boxing in the heavyweight division. His career developed rapidly, the athlete was distinguished by a strong delivered blow, which knocked many opponents to the ring carpet ahead of schedule. However, at the very take-off, not only the boxer’s participation in big-time sports was under threat, but also his life. This happened in a duel with Cuban Mike Perez at the Madison Square Garden arena in November 2013.

Becoming

Abdusalamov Magomed Magomedgadzhievich was born in Dagestan on March 25, 1981. It was the father who instilled in his son a love of sports, since he himself was engaged in freestyle wrestling and received the title of master. Young Maga tried different kinds martial arts, and came to boxing at the age of 22 due to a knee injury in the Thai interpretation of this sport, where he achieved considerable success.

The athlete’s first mentor was G. Gaziev, who later became like an older brother to him. In classical boxing, Abdusalamov Magomed began training with Evgeny Kotov. In the amateur category, the athlete managed to win the championship twice Russian Federation. However, he lacked tactics and technique due to his late arrival to this sport. In amateur boxing, Magee has fifty fights to his name, the lion's share of victories in which took place ahead of schedule.

Professional career

Boxer Magomed Abdusalamov began his professional career in the fall of 2008. The athlete was first supported by Yuri Fedorov, then Mage was promoted by the American Leon Margulies and his team. The Dagestani alternately fought in Russia and America. Soon the boxer's entire family (wife and two daughters) moved to Florida. Magomed Abdusalamov knocked out the first eight opponents in the professional ring to the canvas in the first round. In 2012, Magee’s opponent was the famous American J. McCline. In this fight, the Russian athlete managed to be knocked down, but the second round brought him an early victory.

A year later, a meeting took place between Abdusalamov and Puerto Rican V. Bisbal. This opponent made the Dagestani nervous, but in the fifth round he was also knocked out. In fights, it is noticeable that Maga has practically no control over his defense, and behaves quite openly and riskily. As the athlete himself stated, this was his tactic, which made it possible to take his opponent by surprise. The main trump cards of the domestic boxer are enormous power and high striking force.

Magomed Abdusalamov: what happened in the fatal battle?

The ill-fated fight took place on November 2, 2011. In the ring of the Madison Square Garden arena in New York, two invincible boxers at that time met - Magomed Abdusalamov and Cuban Mike Perez. Bookmakers estimated the athletes' chances at about fifty-fifty. The Dagestani was 32 years old at that time, and his opponent was 28 years old.

The opponents began the fight in an active struggle for the center of the ring. Almost from the first seconds, open “chopping” began. In his characteristic style, Maga tried to suppress the Cuban’s initiative, but he was unable to do this right away. Moreover, he missed a powerful blow to the jaw, which immediately began to swell. The coach and team did not pay attention to this until the very end of the match. As it turned out later, the Russian athlete suffered a fracture of the facial bone under the eye, and this in the first round!

Developments

Despite the injury, Magomed Abdusalamov fought the last battle like a real warrior. Actively maneuvering, he was eager to attack. Throughout the fight, the boxers alternately took the initiative into their own hands. Perez turned out to be a very persistent and nimble opponent. In addition, he repeatedly struck the Russian athlete below the belt, for which he was deprived of one point by the referee's decision.

With each round, the fight between Magomed Abdusalamov and the Cuban became tougher and more spectacular, forcing the audience to jump up from their seats every now and then. However, Maga was noticeably tired, missed several serious blows to his injured jaw and earned a couple of cuts. At the same time, Mike behaved provocatively, showing ambiguous gestures and language. As a result, the fight ended with the victory of the Cuban athlete on points by unanimous decision of the judges.

The situation after the battle

How did Magomed Abdusalamov feel during the fight? What happened in the first round and why did the coaching staff not react to a serious injury? There is no clear answer to these questions. Some consider the language barrier to be an obstacle to mutual understanding, while others claim that too much was at stake. The fact is that a few hours after the fight, the athlete was sent to the clinic with severe headaches, where he was diagnosed with a cerebral hemorrhage.

To prevent the situation from worsening, doctors put the boxer into an artificial coma. A few days later, Abdusalamov suffered a stroke. An operation was performed during which doctors removed a blood clot from the brain and also removed part of the skull to relieve swelling. Only after some time the athlete emerged from the comatose state and began to breathe on his own. Four months later he was transferred from intensive care to a regular ward.

Rehabilitation

It soon became known that the Abdusalamov family does not have the required amount funds for passage full course rehabilitation and subsequent treatment. Concerned sponsors and philanthropists from the boxing community, including current and former athletes, as well as Magomed's friends. The promoters even created a special fund to collect donations for Magee’s treatment.

Abdusalamov Magomed Magomedgadzhievich was transferred to a rehabilitation center in 2014. He is going through a difficult and long period of recovery, has lost significant weight and is still unable to move independently. The athlete’s wife, Bakanay, does not leave her husband’s side and makes incredible efforts to ensure that the rehabilitation process is completed successfully. Unfortunately, the brain damage turned out to be very serious; treatment may take more than one year. Magomed has already begun to talk a little, his wife hopes that soon her husband will get on his feet and walk. Although doctors predict paralysis of the right side of the body forever.

Conclusion

Boxing is real dangerous look a sport in which more than one person has already lost their health. Athletes take risks in every fight, and sometimes chance plays a fatal role. I would like to believe that boxer Magomed Abdusalamov will recover and cope with the disease, like most of his opponents in the ring. Fans remembered him as a persistent, purposeful and practically invincible athlete.
