American boxer Patrick Day died Wednesday after suffering a serious brain injury during his knockout defeat to Charles Conwell last weekend, promoter Lou DiBella said in a statement.

The 27-year-old super welterweight had undergone emergency surgery after being knocked out by Conwell on Saturday at Chicago’s Wintrust Arena.

The American fighter had been carried unconscious from the ring on a stretcher on Saturday following his 10th round knockout. Day lay on the canvas for several minutes receiving medical treatment before being removed from the ring. Day is at least the third boxer to die from injuries sustained in the ring this year.
