YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio - The family of a 19-year-old boxer who died from head injuries he suffered in his first professional fight has settled a lawsuit with the Ohio Athletic Commission (OAC).

The family of Hamzah Al-Jahmi filed a $25 million lawsuit against the OAC in 2017 and settled recently for $275,000.

Al-Jahmi fought in his first professional bout in Youngstown at Saints Peter and Paul Ukrainian Hall against Anthony Taylor of Warren in December 2015.

During the fight, Al-Jahmi was knocked down three times in the first round. The first knockdown was described as a "flash knockdown" by his trainer, where a boxer is stunned but gets up quickly.

After being knocked down for a second time, Al-Jahmi got up and did a stagger step to show the referee he had regained his composure. He was knocked down one more time during the first round.

Al-Jahmi was scored as the winner of rounds two and three but fell to the ground in the fourth round, saying he twisted his knee and couldn't stand up. His trainer called the ringside doctor to the ring who had Al-Jahmi lay down on his back and he became unresponsive.

According to Court News Ohio, the EMT assigned to the fights was concerned about Al-Jahmi's condition before he collapsed and requested an ambulance. He was taken to the hospital and underwent emergency surgery for a traumatic brain injury, dying three days later.

The lawsuit alleged the OAC was negligent in selecting the referee and ringside doctor for the fight. It also claimed that the referee had a duty to recognize Al-Jahmi's concussion during the first round and stop the fight.

The lawsuit also claimed Al-Jahmi wouldn't have suffered additional injuries and could have recovered from the concussion if the fight was stopped.
