An Indonesian boxer died in hospital after undergoing brain surgery following a fight, a doctor said Wednesday. Anis Dwi Mulya, 27, died Tuesday, five days after being admitted to a hospital in the capital, Jakarta, where doctors performed brain surgery, The Associated Press quoted neurologist Tunggul Marpaung as saying. Mulya was admitted after Thursday night's junior-lightweight bout, broadcast live on a local TV station and stopped in the sixth round. Mulya was not knocked out during the fight with fellow Indonesian Irvan Bone, but had complained afterward of feeling dizzy, local media had reported. Marpaung said Mulya's family had refused to allow the body to be autopsied, obstructing efforts to find the cause of the death. Mulya is at least the 23rd Indonesian boxer to have died in the country's boxing history. The last fatality was in 2006.
