A Life Lost to Boxing's Dark Side The recent passing of Prichard Colon serves as a haunting reminder of boxing's long standing failure to address its safety concerns.
At 33, his life was cut short by neurological damage sustained during a bout in 2015.
The incident raises uncomfortable questions about the sport's willingness to put its athletes' well being above winning at all costs. Colon faced off against Terrel Williams at the Fairfax, Virginia, arena in 2015.
