Tragedy struck the Japanese boxing world as two boxers died from injuries suffered in their fights that were on the same exact card.

Shigetoshi Kotari and Hiromasa Urakawa , both 28, each suffered brain injuries that resulted in their untimely deaths.

Kotari collapsed shortly after completing a 12-round draw against Oriental and Pacific Boxing Federation junior lightweight champion Yamato Hata on Aug. 2.

He underwent emergency brain surgery for a subdural hematoma – a condition where blood collects between the brain and skull – but died on Friday.

Urakawa suffered a knockout loss to Yoji Saito, and he, too, had to undergo a brain operation, a craniotomy, in an attempt to save his life.
