As of March 25, 2026, 19-year-old American boxer Isis Sio has regained consciousness and is breathing on her own after being placed in a medically induced coma following a brutal knockout.
Sio is awake and speaking after being removed from a ventilator. She remains in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at Loma Linda University Health medical center under the care of three specialized medical divisions.
On Saturday, March 21, 2026, Sio was knocked unconscious 78 seconds into the first round of a fight against Jocelyn Camarillo in San Bernardino, California. After collapsing and reportedly convulsing in the ring, she was stretchered out and hospitalized immediately.
She is a junior flyweight boxer from Dickinson, North Dakota, who made her professional debut in September 2025. Her professional record currently stands at 1–3. This was her second consecutive knockout loss in less than two months. She had previously been stopped by body punches in January.
Her quick return to the ring—just 50 days after a previous KO loss—sparked online debate regarding fighter safety and medical clearance. Her opponent is Jocelyn Camarillo (6–0), an undefeated fighter signed with Jake Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions, who expressed deep concern and prayers for Sio’s recovery following the match.
I hope she recovers from this.
