Reports say his hands were busted up too, so it seems pretty obvious it was a struggle. Like you said, must've been a group of people he fought with.
Maybe they deliberately busted his hands up to sabotage his career? But then again, sounds like they tried to kill him anyway so maybe not.
Damn, that's sad stuff. Perhaps it was Boytsov ****ing around with them first? Who knows? But let's hope he has a quick and swift recovery.
Denis Boytsov in Induced Coma After Serious Accident By Alexey Sukachev With just three weeks away from the birth of his child (according to his manager Gagik Khachatrian), Germany* based Russian heavyweight Denis Boytsov is hospitalized in serious condition and fighting for his life after a bizarre metro accident. The Russian perennial contender was found by a train conductor at the end of last week in Berlin, with severe head trauma and injured hands, in the railway tunnel between the Bismarckstrasse and Wilmersdorfer Strasse metro stations. Boytsov, 29, was also found to be intoxicated. With dangerous cephaledema starting to develop after hospitalization, medical staff had to put Boytsov into an induced coma. Police started an investigation of the accident. The news was first broken by Hamburger Abendblatt. Boytsov, originally from Orel, Russia, has a record of 36*1, with 27 KOs. He has been a part of Universum Box Promotion for a long time until he signed with Sauerland Event in 2013. Boytsov's only loss came in November 2013 against Alex Leapai in the WBO heavyweight eliminator. Leapai later challenged world's number 1 heavyweight Wladimir Klitschko and was stopped in five. Boytsov is 3*0, 1 KOs, since. BOYTSOV IN INDUCED COMA FOLLOWING SERIOUS ACCIDENT Monday, May 11, 2015 Heavyweight Contender Denis Boytsov as been hospitalized and is in serious condition after a metro accident. The Russian was found by a train conducted at the end of last week in Berlin, Germany where he was found at the scene with severe head trauma as well as injuries to both his hands. Boytsov 29, was intoxicated when found with dangerous cephaledema (swelling of the brain caused by fluid accumulation) as medical staff made the decision to put the fighter into an induced coma. Holding a record of 36-1-0 with his sole loss coming in 2013 against Alex Leapai, he as since gone on to three wins, putting him into contention for a shot at a heavyweight title. His last contest was back in March where he stopped Irineu Beato Costa Junior in the second round in Rostock, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Police have started their investigations.
I hope it wasnt a robbery thing. Boxers often go after and chase the attackers in such incidents and it usually gets disastrous. Vernon Forest comes to mind.
just speculation but he had big trouble with ex-universum boss Waldemar Kluch who was released from Prison in febuary. Boystov's family and friends were threatened in the past too But it is just speculation maybe he was just drunk
Waldemar Kluch owned a sportcenter in Hamburg was involved in money laundering and had conflicts with Boystov in the past. He is involved in the russian mafia in Hamburg
Sad news.... wish a speedy recovery for him, and I think foul play might have been involved as a few others had suggested.
