What was intended to be a routine weigh-in day in Las Vegas turned into a medical emergency when American boxer Brandon Adams collapsed in his hotel room. The fight was one of the most anticipated of the weekend, as the winner would earn the right to be the mandatory challenger to the title currently held by Josh Kelly. The international boxing world has taken a hard hit. The new main event of the night will be the women's bantamweight fight between Chantel Navarro and Perla Lomeli. Adams' team sent a message of solidarity to his opponent, expressing the desire to reschedule the fight as soon as the American's health allows it. Despite the cancellation of the main event, DMG Boxing promoter confirmed that the rest of the 'Night of Champions' card at The Cosmopolitan will proceed. The incident occurred before the boxer could step on the scale for his official weigh-in, reported Metro World News. According to the official report from his team and manager Mark Habibi, Adams began experiencing severe chest pains before losing consciousness.

The situation for Caoimhín Agyarko remains one of total uncertainty. On medical advice, the boxer will remain hospitalized overnight for observation to undergo exhaustive tests. This collapse has led to the immediate cancellation of the IBF eliminator in super welterweight against the undefeated Irishman Caoimhín Agyarko. The Irish fighter had traveled from abroad for what was to be his debut on American soil and the most important fight of his professional career. Adams, who is ranked eighth by ESPN and coming off a victory over Serhii Bohachuk, is 'absolutely devastated' that he cannot compete after a training camp in which he gave his all. Following an emergency medical response, he was transported to a nearby hospital, where he is currently in stable condition and receiving intravenous treatment.
