Congolese talent hangs up the gangs

 

Ardi Dasylva Ndembo was a passionate boxer and admirer of Cameroonian Francis Ngannou. He had competed in the heavyweight category of the Team Combat League for several years. Ndembo was knocked out by his Cuban opponent Nestor Santana in a Team Combat League heavyweight bout that left him in a coma for two weeks. The Congolese had fallen in the ring after receiving several violent blows to the back of the head on April 06. Following this incident, he was admitted to Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami, where, according to Congolese media reports, he suffered severe trauma.

 

Dasylva Ndembo has been a success

 


This was the ninth fight of his career, with eight victories to his credit, including 07 by K.O. He had a promising career ahead of him, but the referee's inability to protect the boxer turned the ring into a massacre. The Congolese community is outraged by the death, calling for an inquiry into the rules and safety of boxing matches. The sports world is calling for protective measures to be stepped up to avoid this kind of tragedy.

As a reminder, Dasylva Ndembo, a boxer from Congo Brazzaville, died after two weeks in a coma in the United States at the age of 27, leaving his fans with the feeling of an unfinished career.
