Charles Conwell has vowed to use Patrick Day as motivation to become a world champion.
Following the fight, Patrick Day suffered a traumatic brain injury after their bout on Saturday and on Wednesday he passed away. Read on since Charles Conwell pens emotional letter to Patrick Day…
CelebNSports247.com reported that Patrick Day was knocked out by Conwell in the 10th round of the super welterweight fight in Chicago.
Patrick Day has suffered a seizure on the way to the hospital and was put into a medically induced coma which he did not survive. He died on Wednesday at the age of 27.
Before Charles Conwell knew of Day’s passing, he wrote a poignant letter to Day, stating it will be the last time he comments on the situation out of respect for Day’s family and friends, himself and the sport of boxing.
The 21-year-old posted on Twitter:
I never meant for this to happen to you. All I ever wanted to do was win. If I could take it all back I would no one deserves for this to happen to them.
Conwell continued to question himself asking:
I replay the fight over and over in my head thinking what if this never happened and why did it happen to you. I can’t stop thinking about it myself, I prayed for you so many times and shredded so many tears because I couldn’t even imagine how my family and friends would feel.
He blamed himself for what happened and felt he need to stop boxing:
I see you everywhere I go and all I hear is wonderful things about you. I thought about quitting boxing but I know that’s not what you would want.
Instead, he wants to fight for Patrick Day and remember to make this his fuel to become a champion:
I know that you were a fighter at heart so I decided not to but to fight and win a world title because that’s what you wanted and that’s what I want, so I’ll use you as motivation every day and make sure I always leave it all in the ring every time. #ChampPatrickDay With compassion, Charles Conwell.
Unfotunately, Day was never able to see the letter from Charles Conwell.
RIP Patrick.
