The 28-year-old qualified paramedic from Sophiatown also flagged the long-term danger of cutting down too much weight before a fight.

"Around the brain there is a cerebrospinal fluid that protects the brain from the knocks, the impact of punches and bumps you may take on your head.

"While reducing weight, you lower the percentage of cerebrospinal fluid around the brain, and the injuries could be severe because there is not enough time to pick up the amount of fluid lost during weigh-in to time of fighting." Studdard said many fighters pick up severe brain injuries during fights and some even die because of this and most people blame the sport due to lack of knowledge.

Studdard - who lost his top five rating in the bantamweight division due to the break caused by injury - has nine wins with seven knockouts against two losses.
