Alejandra Ayala suffered a brain injury after being knocked out in the 10th round of her last fight in May
A Mexican boxer who almost died after a fight at Glasgow's OVO Hydro has revealed she will never return to the ring.
Doctors prepared her parents for the worst but, miraculously, she survived. Back in July Glasgow Live reported that she has returned to Mexico as is undergoing therapy. “I always wanted to fight for a World Championship – that was my goal. I got to do that and thank God I’m still alive.Medics had told her parents Maria Elena and Vincente, who had travelled from Mexico, that their daughter was unlikely to survive. Alejandra spent more than two months in Glasgow receiving treatment and said her recovery is better than medics had hoped.
"My parents, who were by my side, just loved them all and we’re so thankful to all the staff there. Their care reminded me that the world is beautiful. "It’s hard to do what we do and I wish her the best. My parents told me she wanted to come see me and send flowers, which I appreciate, but at the beginning I couldn’t stand up, I couldn’t walk. I couldn’t hear properly and the sound of people talking would bother me.
