British boxer Nick Blackwell has been placed in an induced coma after losing a domestic title fight. The British middleweight belt contest at London's Wembley Arena saw Blackwell stopped in the 10th round by Chris Eubank Jr after the ringside doctor ruled a closed left eye meant he could not continue. It was not the first time a member of the Eubank family had been involved in a contest that ended with a boxer being taken to hospital. Michael Watson sustained brain injuries after being stopped by Chris Eubank.
