According to promoter Jamie Myer on 5.30pm Gold Coast 9 news, Shannan is still in serious condition, but not critical. And there's a 50/50 chance he'll pull through. He also pleaded people ignore current media reports.
Interesting to note, Ray Wheatley's spread in Fightnews had been ditched

I hope that Jamie Myer is correct, it is confusing. I guess tomorrow we'll all know more, until then one can only hope for the best.

Jamie & Shannan have been close for many years. If anyone knows, Jamie would.

great news but still a lot to go
Taylor’s father Steve confirmed his son opened his eyes this afternoon shortly after he visited him for the first time.
“I ended up going in and we talked to him,” he said.“I told him I need help with the kids he’s training.”

Taylor is still on life support but the improvement has stunned some, with doctors at one stage considering turning off his life support machine this morning.

“But he has opened his eyes and squeezed a hand,” Mr Taylor said

It seems that like Mark Twain "reports of his demise have been grossly exaggerated."
