Isis Sio has shared with World Boxing News her last clear memory before the knockout she suffered, which left her in a coma. The young boxer remembers being in the locker room, getting ready for the fight and feeling excited to get into the ring. After that, everything becomes blurry for her. She has had to reconstruct what happened through the accounts of her family, her team, and the doctors. Sio's recovery has shown encouraging progress after being taken off the ventilator, following the frightening first-round stoppage defeat to Jocelyn Camarillo last weekend.

In her first exclusive interview since leaving the hospital, Sio explained that her current focus is on healing and taking things one day at a time, following the instructions of her doctors and her family. She has seen some parts of the fight, but her attention is not on the fight itself. She is grateful to be alive and getting better.

Despite everything she has been through, Sio made it clear that boxing means much more to her than just getting into the ring. She affirms that boxing has given her a purpose, discipline, and something to fight for in life. She assures that, no matter what the future holds, boxing will always be part of who she is. Before the fight with Camarillo, Sio had already registered an LLC in her name, demonstrating her ambition as a boxer.

The reaction on social media was overwhelmingly supportive of Sio, although many also urged the young boxer to consider stepping away from boxing. For now, Sio is grateful to be alive. It remains to be seen whether this will mean a return to the ring, coaching, or helping young people through her own gym, something that will become clearer in the coming weeks and months.

Sio's experience raises questions about whether a career based on taking punches can continue. The boxing community and the media have closely followed her case, sending messages of support and wishing her a speedy recovery. The uncertainty about her professional future is inevitable, but Sio's passion and love for boxing suggest that, in one way or another, she will remain linked to the sport she loves so much.

The editor-in-chief of World Boxing News (WBN), Phil Jay, a veteran boxing reporter with over 15 years of experience, conducted the interview. He has interviewed world champions and has reported from ringside since 2010.
