Recovering Raven Chapman has posted for the first time since her return to the UK.
Former world featherweight title challenger Chapman (10-2, 3 KOs) collapsed following a sparring session in Denmark on July 24.
She was airlifted to a nearby hospital where she was diagnosed with a brain hematoma and cerebral oedema. She underwent emergency surgery which successfully stopped the bleeding and helped stabilize the swelling. She was then placed in a medically-induced coma.
Earlier this week, the 32-year-old’s family confirmed that she has returned home to the UK to continue her recovery.
“After everything she has been through, having her home and back surrounded by family feels incredibly special,” a statement read. “There is still a road ahead and we’re taking things one day at a time but Raven continues to amaze us with her strength, positivity and determination.”
Then on Wednesday morning, Chapman uploaded an Instagram story for the first time since the accident. “Feeling very lucky to be back home and surrounded by family,” she wrote.
A GoFundMe page, set up earlier this month to support Chapman’s return home, has now raised close to £100,000 and remains open to raise funds for the next stage of her recovery.
