Isis Sio in ICU as Team Shares Medical Update

Teenage boxer off ventilator as family confirms ICU care and ongoing monitoring by specialist medical teams

Isis Sio remains in intensive care after a first-round knockout on March 21 left her in a medically induced coma. She is now off the ventilator, with three specialist medical teams monitoring her condition as her recovery continues.

“On behalf of CEO Garry Jonas and the entire ProBox family, we are praying for Isis Sio,” the promotion said. “Our thoughts are firmly with her and her family during an extremely difficult time. We ask everyone to keep her in their prayers and hope for a full recovery.”

The fight ended in the opening round at the Orange Show Events Center. Jocelyn Camarillo hurt Sio to the body before following up with punches to the head that left her unconscious on the canvas.

Medical staff entered the ring immediately. Sio was placed on a stretcher and transported to hospital care, where she remains under close supervision.

Her family and team confirmed she is now off the ventilator but still in ICU. “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.”

They also addressed the circumstances leading into the fight. “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.”

Her previous bout on January 30 was clarified by the team. “In reference to her previous bout… the result was not due to a head-strike knockout. Instead, it was caused by a liver shot.”

They added context on the medical effects. “As is well understood in boxing, a direct blow to the liver can trigger an involuntary physiological response… leading to a sudden drop in blood pressure and heartrate.”

Sio had served a 45-day suspension and received clearance before accepting the fight. That meets current commission standards, though back-to-back stoppages in a short period place attention on how those suspensions are applied and whether further checks are needed.

“She is currently under the care of three specialized medical divisions who are closely monitoring her condition,” her team said. “We sincerely appreciate the continued support, thoughts, and prayers during this time.”
