Shadasia Green was treated for a brain bleed after her stoppage loss to Lani Daniels in New York.
Green was boxing Daniels, a former heavyweight titlist, for the unified IBF and WBO super-middleweight championships on the undercard of Alycia Baumgardner's clash with Bo Mi Re Shin at the Madison Square Garden Theater in New York.
A barrage of shots from Daniels at the start of the ninth round prompted the referee to pull Green out and she was taken from the ring in a stretcher.

Green posted on social media, saying: "I passed out due to bleeding out of my brain.
"However I am in ICU on the road to healing. I'll be back to get what's mine 100 per cent covered."
Green became a unified world champion when she handed Britain's Savannah Marshall an upset loss last year and she had become a prospective opponent for US star Claressa Shields, a multi-weight undisputed champion.
