SINGAPORE: A 24-year-old Muay Thai fighter who was taken unconscious to hospital after competing in a tournament at the National Stadium earlier this month subsequently died, the police confirmed on Monday (Sep 28). A report was lodged at about 8am on Sep 13 over an incident involving the man, who had been conveyed unconscious to hospital following his participation in the AMC 13 Fight for Hope tournament the previous day, said the police, who did not identify the man.

The police also did not say when he died.

Based on preliminary investigations, no foul play is suspected. Investigations are ongoing. The fighter, who trained at Muay Thai gym Inspire Fitness Asia, competed in the tournament on Sep 12.

The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said it received a call for assistance at 1 Stadium Drive at about 7.05pm that day. One person was taken to Tan Tock Seng Hospital.

In a statement on Sep 17, the Singapore Muaythai Association (SMA) confirmed that an incident had occurred during the tournament.

"Medical assistance was administered by the on-site medical team before the individual was conveyed to the hospital for further medical attention," SMA said in an Instagram post.

The association said it had initiated a formal review and was working with relevant parties to establish the circumstances surrounding the incident.

In a subsequent post, SMA rejected online claims that the fighter had been knocked out during the event, calling them "untrue".

"Both athletes were present during the announcement of results and walked off the ring unassisted. There was a medical emergency later," the association said.

The Fight for Hope tournament, which spanned three weekends across August and September, was organised by SMA to raise funds and awareness in support of Breast Cancer Foundation Singapore.

新加坡：警方周一（9月28日）证实，一名24岁的泰拳选手本月初在国家体育场参加比赛后昏迷送医，后经抢救无效死亡。警方表示，9月13日上午8点左右接到报案，称该男子在参加完前一天举行的AMC 13“为希望而战”泰拳比赛后昏迷不醒，被送往医院。警方并未透露该男子的身份。

警方也没有透露他的死亡时间。

初步调查显示，未发现谋杀嫌疑。调查仍在进行中。这名拳手在Inspire Fitness Asia泰拳馆训练，并于9月12日参加了比赛。

新加坡民防部队（SCDF）表示，当天晚上7点05分左右接到求助电话，称体育场路1号发生紧急情况。一人被送往陈笃生医院。

SMA在Instagram上发帖称：“现场医疗团队对该人员进行了医疗救助，之后将其送往医院接受进一步治疗。”

该协会表示，已启动正式审查程序，并正在与相关各方合作，以查明事件发生的情况。

在随后的帖子中，SMA驳斥了网上关于该拳击手在比赛中被击倒的说法，称这些说法“不属实”。

“为希望而战”锦标赛于八月和九月的三个周末举行，由新加坡医学协会 (SMA) 组织，旨在为新加坡乳腺癌基金会筹集资金并提高公众意识。
