MANILA, Philippines—Boxer Karlo Maquinto passed away Friday, five days after falling into a coma because of a blood clot in his brain after a bout in Caloocan City. He was 21.
Maquinto battled back from two knockdowns to earn a majority draw against Mark Joseph Costa in their four-round flyweight bout.
The death of the Iloilo-born boxer has sparked calls for an investigation, particularly from House Games and Amusements chair Rep. Amado Bagatsing and boxing promoter Jun Sarreal, who stressed that the medical history of boxers should always be looked into before fights.
“They should always make sure that boxers are fit to fight,” said Sarreal, who has more than 50 years experience in the sport as a promoter.
“There have been past deaths because the medical history of boxers were overlooked.”
