Boxer Prichard Colón Dies After Brain Bleed | Washington DC News

Former pro boxer Prichard Colón, whose career ended in tragedy after a 2015 fight that left him with a fatal brain bleed, has passed away. The injury, caused by illegal “rabbit punches” to his neck, plunged him into a coma for over 200 days. His father honored his legacy through social media, thanking fans for their support. In response, the WBC enacted a zero-tolerance policy against such blows, urging referees to penalize fighters immediately — a crucial step to safeguard boxers from life-altering harm.
