During the match, which took place in San Bernardino, California, Isis absorbed several powerful punches before collapsing on the canvas. Once the referee noticed her lack of response, the medical team acted swiftly to stabilize and transport her to a nearby hospital. To prevent any life-threatening conditions from brain swelling after her head injury, doctors placed her in a medically induced coma.

The bout against 21-year-old Jocelyn Camarillo marked Isis Sio's third professional fight. Going into it, she had secured one win and two losses in her boxing career. As news of her condition spread, concern from family and friends grew rapidly.

Fortunately, there has been significant improvement in Isis' health as reported by ProBox TV on March 24th. She no longer remains in a coma or on ventilator support and is now breathing independently. ProBox TV expressed hope for her future, stating:

"We have some promising news to share. Isis is no longer in a medically induced coma, has been taken off the ventilator, and is now breathing on her own."

Her family's relief at her progress cannot be overstated as they continue to support Isis through recovery. This incident underscores the inherent risks associated with boxing and highlights the importance of rigorous training, preparation, and medical supervision for athletes in high-risk sports.
