Not surprising at all. If there’s a 1 percent chance a boxer dies from a brain injury at an event, then there is one chance in 10k that 2 boxers die at the same event.
There are more than 10k events a year so this should occur more than once a year somewhere.
Therefore this news event isn’t really worthy, IMO.
I’m getting some real „Bloodsport“ vibes right now.

fun fact japan has the highest rate of deaths in the boxing ring in the world
Did they have a severe cut before the bout?
A lot of these are from weight-cut dehydration that makes the brain injuries more likely and much worse.
ALL combat sports need to start weigh-ins at most a few hours before the fight. Not just for brain health of the athletes, but to eliminate other complications, like kidney failure.
