Summary
48 hours after being hospitalized, Raoni Barcelos posted a video from his hospital bed saying he is “doing really well” and plans to “come back stronger.”
The 39-year-old was rushed to a Las Vegas hospital after collapsing unconscious in the fifth round of Saturday’s bantamweight main event against Raul Rosas Jr.
Barcelos said he is still undergoing hospital exams as part of protocol and thanked fans for prayers and messages while recovering.
The collapse ended a five-fight winning streak and turned a bout Barcelos was leading on the scorecards into a technical-knockout win for Rosas Jr.
Earlier updates from his camp said Barcelos was conscious and that stroke and heart attack had already been ruled out.
