The latest update I've been able to find is now over a month old on Wikipedia:



"On 8 December 2017, Skoglund suffered a brain hemorrhage during a sparring session in his hometown, Nyköping. He was put into a medically induced coma and had surgery.[50][51] Skoglund was awakened from the coma in January 2018 and was seen responsive and walking with the help of a crutch. A tweet was posted to his Twitter account which read "Finally back where I belong. Thanks for all the support I really need it. Will speak more about what happened when I’m ready."[52] Skoglund will undergo extensive, long-term rehab. The incident is being investigated by the Swedish Work Environment Authority. Professional boxing is under strict supervision in Sweden and was banned until 2006.[53]"

ya the last i heard was that tweet where he said he was back home and okay. there was a picture of him too and he had a normal appearence.

but i hope he knows about nick blackwell. nick suffered a similar injury, and was fortunate enough that aside from having to quit boxing hed have a largely normal life still, but then he stupidly started sparring again and now has serious long term damage and im not sure if he can talk or anything
