Tramaine Williams Record, Personal Life, and More About Boxer Who Collapsed Mid-Fight: How Is He Now?

Boxing is one of the most brutal sports in the world. It has destroyed the careers of many fighters and has even taken lives. Despite the precautions taken and the protocols followed by athletes’ teams and the regulatory bodies, some incidents still shock spectators. One such incident occurred recently when an American boxer, Tramaine Williams suffered a seizure during a fight. 

Online users have been sharing the video of Williams suddenly collapsing to the ground in the middle of the match. But, what precisely happened? Check out the boxer’s current condition and what transpired during the bout. 

Why did Tramaine Williams collapse in his recent fight? 

Tramaine Williams faced Ryan Allen on June 20th, 2024. The bout took place at Thunder Studio in Long Beach, California, as part of the NYC Attitude vs. Las Vegas Hustlers event. During the opening round, Allen attempted to strike Williams with his right hand, but Williams sidestepped the combinations. However, subsequently, Williams raised his right hand into the air, froze, and then abruptly collapsed to the ground.

Even Allen stepped back, refusing to take advantage of the situation. The referee quickly intervened, stopping the fight and calling for medical assistance. Williams was immediately taken to the hospital.

Initially, the cause of Williams’ collapse was unclear. Hours later, his team, NYC Attitude, revealed, “Thank you everyone for your love and support. NYC fighter Tremaine Williams was discharged from the hospital and is doing well.” Williams also posted a story on his Instagram that read, “I’m good, the doctor said I was too dehydrated. I’m good though.” He was shortly discharged from the hospital. 

This startling incident raises numerous concerns about the severity of combat sports and whether governing organizations are adopting the necessary safety measures.
