5 Apr 2024 Ardi Ndembo   Congo Nestor Santana   Cuba Promising Congolese prospect Ardi Ndembo fought Cuban Nestor Santana on 5 April 2024 in a Team Combat League contest between the Las Vegas Hustle (Ndembo) and Miami Stealth (Santana) held inside the Infiniti of Coral Gables, Florida showroom, which was conducted under Team Combat League regulations [96]. Sixteen boxers per team, consisting of two boxers per weight class -- 126 men, 126 women, 135 men, 147 men, 147 women, 160 men, 175 men, 201 men, participate in a 24-round contest with each boxer participating in one round matches, with boxers doing no more than two of the 24 rounds with one round in each weight and sex class per eight-round period. During the eighth round, which is the final round of the first period and the round for these two boxers, Santana was throwing hooks to the back of Ndembo's head at 30 seconds into the round, which the referee did not notice. After Ndembo slipped around 45 seconds, Santana was taunting. At 56 seconds, Santana knocked Ndembo down and according to Marca, Ndembo remained unconscious on the canvas for ten minutes. Under Team Combat League rules, the knockout ends only the eighth round, not the contest, and the 10-point must scoring system for each round grants an automatic score for knockout. The contest continued with the ninth round featuring the remaining 30 boxers contesting the remaining 15 rounds, as the two boxers' second one-round contest (which was scheduled for the third period) was scratched and ruled a stoppage win for Santana for points purposes, which Miami won, 229-220.
Ndembo was moved to Jackson Memorial Hospital, where he was in a coma before his death on 26 April 2024. [97]

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following is a list of deaths due to injuries sustained in boxing. In February 1995, it was estimated that "approximately 500 boxers have died in the ring or as a result of boxing since the Marquess of Queensberry Rules were introduced in 1884." [1] 22 boxers died in 1953 alone. [1]

The list is incomplete; many other boxers not listed here have died as a consequence of injuries sustained in a contest.

5 Apr 2024 Ardi Ndembo   Congo Nestor Santana   Cuba Promising Congolese prospect Ardi Ndembo fought Cuban Nestor Santana on 5 April 2024 in a Team Combat League contest between the Las Vegas Hustle (Ndembo) and Miami Stealth (Santana) held inside the Infiniti of Coral Gables, Florida showroom, which was conducted under Team Combat League regulations [96]. Sixteen boxers per team, consisting of two boxers per weight class -- 126 men, 126 women, 135 men, 147 men, 147 women, 160 men, 175 men, 201 men, participate in a 24-round contest with each boxer participating in one round matches, with boxers doing no more than two of the 24 rounds with one round in each weight and sex class per eight-round period. During the eighth round, which is the final round of the first period and the round for these two boxers, Santana was throwing hooks to the back of Ndembo's head at 30 seconds into the round, which the referee did not notice. After Ndembo slipped around 45 seconds, Santana was taunting. At 56 seconds, Santana knocked Ndembo down and according to Marca, Ndembo remained unconscious on the canvas for ten minutes. Under Team Combat League rules, the knockout ends only the eighth round, not the contest, and the 10-point must scoring system for each round grants an automatic score for knockout. The contest continued with the ninth round featuring the remaining 30 boxers contesting the remaining 15 rounds, as the two boxers' second one-round contest (which was scheduled for the third period) was scratched and ruled a stoppage win for Santana for points purposes, which Miami won, 229-220.
Ndembo was moved to Jackson Memorial Hospital, where he was in a coma before his death on 26 April 2024. [97]
