BANGKOK: Filipino boxer Lito Sisnorio died Saturday
night after sustaining serious head injuries during a loss to former
Thai champion Chatchai Sasakul, hospital officials said Sunday.
Officials said Sisnorio was
admitted to Bangkok’s Piyamin Hospital late on Friday after he
went down in the fourth round against the Thai former WBC super
flyweight champion Chatchai. Sisnorio died late Saturday.
“He was admitted Friday and
died last night,” a hospital official told AFP.
Thai news websites reported that
Sisnorio, 24, had suffered a blood clot in his brain and had
emergency surgery on Friday night, although the hospital would not
confirm this.
The Filipino’s body was
transferred to another private hospital for the family to claim, the
Piyamin official said.
