A physician in the ring treated him and had been stretchered by paramedics and transported to Northwestern Memorial Hospital.
He had been in a very critical requirement for the upcoming few days and on Wednesday Day dropped his battle.
Promoter Lou DiBella said in a statement:He was surrounded by his loved ones, close friends and members of his boxing team, including his own mentor, friend and coach Joe Higgins. Based on Patricks family, staff, and people closest to him, were thankful for the prayers, expressions of support and outpouring of love for Pat who have been obvious since his trauma.
Patrick Day did not need to box. He came from a good family, he had been smart, had good values, educated and had additional avenues open for him to make a living. He decided knowing the inherent risks which every fighter faces after she or he walks right into a boxing ring. Boxing is what Pat loved ones to do.
It gets quite difficult to clarify or warrant the hazards of boxing at a time in this way. This is not a time where edicts or pronouncements are suitable, or the answers are readily available.
Its, though, a time to get a call to act. While we dont have the answers we possess the means to answer them , and have the opportunity to react and accordingly, certainly know lots of the questions and make boxing safer for those who participate. That really is a way we could honour the legacy of Pat Day.
Its 2019s boxing death after Russian Maxim Dadashev and also Hugo Alfredo Santillan of Argentina both lost their lives and Bulgarian Boris Stanchov.
