Williams also posted an update on his Instagram, revealing that the cause of the incident was dehydration.

“We at Viva Promotions mourn the loss of Ardi Ndembo, a talented Congolese boxer who tragically passed away after a knockout in a Team Combat League match on April 5,” the promoter said in a statement, via the New York Post. “He remained in an induced coma until his untimely death.
