Statement From The Family & Team Of Isis Sio

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.

In reference to her previous bout on January 30 against Perla Bazaldua, the result was not due to a head-strike knockout.

Instead, it was caused by a liver shot.

As is well understood in boxing, a direct blow to the liver can trigger an involuntary physiological response (vasovagal syncope). Because the liver is highly vascularized and rich in nerve supply, such an impact can stimulate the vagus nerve — leading to a sudden drop in blood pressure and heartrate.

This may result in temporary paralysis, dizziness, and difficulty breathing.

Please note, she was on a 45-day suspension and cleared before she accepted the fight with Jocelyn Camarillo.

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.

She is currently under the care of three specialized medical divisions who are closely monitoring her condition.

We sincerely appreciate the continued support, thoughts, and prayers during this time.

Team Isis
