Williams punched the back of Colon\u2019s head repeatedly throughout the contest, before knocking the Puerto Rican down for the first time in his career in the ninth round. <\/p>\n<p>Prichard complained of being dizzy and later collapsed, before being rushed to hospital where he was diagnosed with a 1.5cm left-sided subdural hematoma on the brain. He was placed into a 221-day coma and underwent surgery to reduce his brain swelling and clear the hematoma.<\/p>\n<p><b>READ MORE: Dillon Danis smacks his head on wood as Logan Paul suggests he&apos;s trying to injure himself<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>READ MORE: KSI &apos;almost passes out&apos; as boxing training for Tommy Fury fight gets intense<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The 31-year-old still requires constant care from his mother, Nieves, eight years on as he aims to slowly recover.
