What more can boxing organisers do to protect fighters when a bout reaches the final rounds and medical risks increase?

Critical but stable is still deeply concerning. It is good that Reeves received medical attention immediately after the stoppage.

A final-round knockout does not automatically mean the sport failed, but the focus should remain on Reeves' recovery rather than the title result.

The priority now is careful hospital monitoring and clear updates from the appropriate medical team, without public pressure for rushed information.
