According to her family, Isis Sio was placed in an induced coma after the knockout. Her family confirmed she remains in the intensive care unit, but has been taken off her ventilator and is now responsive. "At this time, Isis remains in the intensive care unit, but she is off the ventilator and we are hopeful for her progression," her family said. "We are awaiting further updates from her medical team. She is currently under the care of three specialised medical divisions who are closely monitoring her condition." The specific medical condition that led to the induced coma has not been disclosed.
Sio accepted the fight against Camarillo despite being knocked out at the end of January. Her family defended her decision, stating, "Isis is a passionate, disciplined, and well-prepared athlete who carefully evaluates each opportunity placed before her." They added, "Her decision to compete on Saturday, March 21 against Jocelyn Camarillo was not made lightly, but rather thoughtfully reviewed and analysed prior to acceptance." The current prognosis for her recovery and expected timeline remain unknown.
In reference to criticism about how she could be allowed to take this fight after her previous bout, her family explained that the January 30 knockout loss to Perla Bazaldua resulted from a liver shot, not a head-strike knockout. "As is well understood in boxing, a direct blow to the liver can trigger an involuntary physiological response (vasovagal syncope)," they said. "Because the liver is highly vascularised and rich in nerve supply, such an impact can stimulate the vagus nerve — leading to a sudden drop in blood pressure and heart rate. This may result in temporary paralysis, dizziness, and difficulty breathing." It is unclear what specific criticisms were made or by whom.
Her family emphasized that Sio was on a 45-day suspension and cleared before accepting the fight with Camarillo. "Please note, she was on a 45-day suspension and cleared before she accepted the fight with Jocelyn Camarillo," they stated. Who cleared her to fight and what medical criteria were used have not been specified, nor have the safety protocols or regulations followed by boxing authorities in allowing this fight. The family concluded, "We sincerely appreciate the continued support, thoughts, and prayers during this time."
