Boxer Isis Sio Recovers from Coma, Expresses Gratitude for Global Support

Isis Sio, the 19-year-old boxer, has shared her gratitude for being alive after a remarkable recovery from a medically induced coma following her recent fight. The news was revealed in an exclusive interview with World Boxing News (WBN). Sio was hospitalized following a first-round knockout defeat last Saturday. Sio's recovery has been an emotional process for her and her family, but she believes the overwhelming support she received played a major role in her recovery.

"I'm feeling better every day and I'm honestly just really grateful to be here," Sio said, while relaxing in Oceanside with her boyfriend Jesse Sorenson. "The last few days have been emotional for me and my family, but I truly believe God heard every prayer that was said for me. The love and support people have shown me from all over the world has meant more to me than I could ever explain."

Sio commented that this experience has changed the way she views everyday moments. "Being able to do simple things again has meant a lot. I got to go sit on the beach and watch the ocean for a while, and that moment really hit me emotionally. It reminded me how precious life is."

In addition, Sio enjoyed something she always orders when she's in California: carne asada burritos. "Even something that simple felt really special after everything," she added. After the 78-second loss, the boxing world rallied in support of the young woman.

Sio addressed the love she received from the entire boxing community during the most frightening period, while she was in a medically induced state. "It really means the world to me," she said. "Boxing is a very tough sport, but it's also a family. Seeing boxers, fans, and people I've never met praying for me and sending support has touched my heart more than I can explain."

Her return home, two days after being induced into a coma on Saturday, was a great relief for everyone involved.

"The doctors have been really encouraged by my progress," Sio revealed. "Waking up from a medically induced coma and recovering as quickly as I have is something they described as remarkable. I'm just focused on getting stronger every day and following their guidance." Sio also addressed the criticism directed at her opponent, Jocelyn Camarillo, after the fight. Camarillo was forced to remove footage of the knockout and issued a statement on social media.

"It honestly hurts me to see negativity directed at Jocelyn Camarillo," she said. "When fighters get into the ring, we both understand the risks that come with this sport. I have nothing but love and respect for her as a boxer, and I truly wish her the best. I was also concerned about her mental well-being seeing some of the things people were saying online. No boxer deserves that. This sport is already tough enough, and I just hope she's doing okay."

Sio publicly expressed her support for Camarillo following the backlash against the boxer after the bout. Sio concluded by thanking everyone who supported her during this difficult time, including doctors, nurses, her family, her boyfriend Jesse, and everyone who prayed for her.
