Ingle no longer sedated

Ingle continues to "make movements"

British boxer Paul Ingle is no longer under sedation and his condition is improving day by day, according to the hospital treating him after brain surgery.

But Ingle remains in intensive care nearly two weeks after undergoing emergency surgery to remove a blood clot from his brain.

Ingle 28, collapsed in the 12th round of his International Boxing Federation featherweight fight against South African Mbulelo Botile on 16 December.

"Paul Ingle remains seriously ill but has continued to show slow improvement each day of this week," a spokesman for the Royal Hallamshire Hospital in Sheffield said on Friday.

"He is no longer under sedation but is still requiring assistance with his breathing and remains in intensive care."
