pictures of Braehmer in hospital

WBO light heavyweight world champion Jürgen Brähmer arrived back in Germany from Kazakhstan today at 9AM. He and BDB President Thomas Pütz were immediately rushed from Hamburg Airport by ambulance to the Asklepios Klinik in Hamburg St. Georg. Brähmer and Pütz both received infusions and their strength is slowly coming back according to Dr. Michael Ehnert. The pair had gone two days without food and suffered heavy fluid loss from diarrhea and vomiting. Extensive blood and stool examinations were performed and results are expected by tomorrow at the earliest.

“I am super disappointed,” stated Brähmer. “I’m sorry for Beibut but I also trained hard. I was in the shape of my life, but I caught something. This sucks. I hope it’s nothing bad. The last two days were hell for me. I would wish this on nobody. I’m just glad to be back here again and want to be healthy as soon as possible.”
BDB President Thomas Pütz commented, “If your health pulls the ground out from under your feet, you only want to go home and be in professional and trusted hands. There was only one flight a day out of the city to get reasonable medical care so we had to act immediately. It would have been irresponsible to let Jürgen box or even keep him there one day longer.”
Promoter Klaus-Peter Kohl: “Rather than fly tomorrow to the fight in Kazakhstan, now I have to visit Jürgen in the hospital.”
