The boxing world is once again in mourning for the death of another fighter due to injuries in the ring. Indonesian Heru Purwanto, better known as Hero Tito, passed away last Thursday at the age of 35 after failing to recover from injuries sustained during his fight for the Indonesian lightweight title.
Hero Tito was admitted to hospital on February 27 after falling unconscious after his fight against James Mokoginta for the Indonesian lightweight title. In the seventh round, the boxer received several consecutive blows that made him collapse and be taken to the hospital, where he was in critical condition and with assisted breathing before the fatal outcome.
Upon arrival at the hospital, Hero Tito underwent surgery to treat brain swelling. Despite the efforts of the doctors, the death of the boxer, who had a balance of 29 wins and 16 losses in 47 fights, could not be avoided on March 3.
