This is the sickening moment legendary Muay Thai fighter Christian Daghio is floored for the second time with a knockout punch that put him in a coma he never came out of. The 49-year-old Italian got up groggy from a first knockdown during the boxing match and was put on the canvas seconds later by rival Don Pareuang.

Daghio, who turned to boxing after spending much of his career as a Muay Thai fighter, died in hospital after his last-round KO in Thailand where he was competing for the vacant WBC Asian Boxing Council silver light heavyweight title.

His brother Fabrizio said: 'He died like he wanted. I have no regrets because he was like that. 'He wanted to fight till he was 80. The ring was his life and he died as a champion. 'My brother had a girlfriend in Thailand and a five-year-old girl who still doesn't know her father has died.'
