Statement From The Family & Team Of Isis Sio
Isis is a passionate, disciplined, and well-prepared athlete
who carefully evaluates each opportunity placed before her.
Her decision to compete on Saturday, March 21, against
Jocelyn Camarillo was not made lightly, but rather
thoughtfully reviewed and analyzed prior to acceptance.
In reference to her previous bout on January 30 against
Perla Bazaldua, the result was not due to a head-strike
knockout.
Instead, it was caused by a liver shot.
As is well understood in boxing, a direct blow to the liver
can trigger an involuntary physiological response (vasovagal
syncope). Because the liver is highly vascularized and rich
in nerve supply, such an impact can stimulate the vagus
nerve — leading to a sudden drop in blood pressure and
heartrate.
This may result in temporary paralysis, dizziness, and
difficulty breathing.
Please note, she was on a 45-day suspension and cleared
before she accepted the fight with Jocelyn Camarillo.
At this time, Isis remains in ICU, but she is off the
ventilator and we are hopeful for her progression.
We are awaiting further updates from her medical team.
She is currently under the care of three specialized medical
divisions who are closely monitoring her condition.
We sincerely appreciate the continued support, thoughts, and
prayers during this time.
Team Isis
