There has been an incident in sparring and Skoglund is in an induced Coma following a brain bleed.

His fight with Smith was a cracker for the boxing enthusiast and I just wanted to start a thread to wish him all the best in the
world, he has been active in our world of boxing for many years and is indeed a fighter that we have no doubt all viewed in the past and admired his courage and skills.

Come On EriK, Keep fighting my son.

Awful news. Thoughts go out to him and his family.

Oh no, that's tragic. I dearly hope he recovers. He was a class act in and out of the ring.

Erik is a top guy
Really hope he pulls through. My heart goes out to his family

Hopefully it wasn’t because he was taking Off too much weight / dehydrated

boxing can be scary. i only had a couple am fights but im still thankful i got out okay. these things are happening all time. read about how american former prospect daniel franco is struggling since his injury. depressing. boxing is deffo a hurt game.

That story and how he was treated by Rocnation was disgraceful.

Fingers crossed Erik can pull through.

He was posting with his Xmas tree & Family only he other day then talking to Rocky Fielding about dates etc....then next day this.

I met Erik & his team when working on the Smith/Skoglund show.

What a bloody brilliant bunch of top genuine people who will use their closeness to gather the strength to get Erik through this.

Erik is a top bloke, a true warrior who I have no doubts will win this, his greatest fight of his career.

Come on Erik, all of our positive thoughts are with you.

Pray for a full recovery for him , give Smith a tough night and was a class act post fight too .

Seems like a genuinely nice bloke .

Sad news, hope he pulls through.

Good fighter and seems like a good guy too, thoughts are with his family.

Erik Skoglund is awake and responsive having been brought out of his medically induced coma.

Good news to hear hopefully he can have a speedy recovery to full health. A true warrior.

Good news:

He’s not progressing for all the reports - can’t talk/walk.

The article I read was Family was really struggling for money and finding things tough - selling things etc.

Sad story in all honesty.
