British professional boxer Raven Chapman is currently recovering in a Denmark hospital after suffering a brain bleed during a training session on 24 July. The 32-year-old athlete required an emergency air evacuation following her collapse, where medical teams diagnosed a cerebral oedema and haematoma.
Her management team at Vote Boxing confirmed that Chapman underwent immediate surgery to manage swelling and bleeding. She was subsequently placed in a medically induced coma. Recent updates indicate that doctors have successfully removed her from sedation as she prepares for medical transport back to the United Kingdom for a long-term recovery process.
Chapman, who hails from Norwich, maintains a professional record of 10 wins and two losses. Her most recent high-profile match was a world title challenge against Skye Nicolson in Saudi Arabia during October 2024. Her family remains by her side in Denmark, and the boxing community has expressed widespread support, with figures such as Frank Warren sharing public messages of encouragement. A fundraising page has been established to assist with her ongoing medical needs.
