Engineer dies four days after beginner’s boxing match in Taipei
2026-05-22
A 30-year-old engineer in Taipei has died four days after taking part in a boxing tournament for beginners. The man, surnamed Chen, had been learning boxing for about a year, and during the match sustained multiple heavy blows to the head. He was able to seek medical treatment on his own after the competition, but later fell into a coma that he never woke up from. Let’s hear more about the case.

Mr. Chen came to this boxing gym in Songshan District to compete. After a technical knockout, he felt unwell and went to the hospital. Four days later, he was pronounced dead.

Police officer
We were unable to contact the gym owner, so we haven’t carried out an inspection yet. The autopsy was completed yesterday. From what we know, Mr. Chen’s family has not raised major objections or reacted strongly to the incident.
Peter Hung
International Professional Boxing Event Director
I’ve been in Taiwan’s boxing industry for just three years, but I’ve already seen three competitors die, all of them beginners. In small competitions like this, people think it’s just for fun, so they hop on the ring and go wild throwing punches at full force. That’s really dangerous. Seasoned fighters can control their strength. They know where to hit, where to use force and where not to.

In cases like this, at first, the symptoms might not be serious or obvious. But they gradually get worse. The most concerning development clinically is delayed brain hemorrhage.
Police have referred two suspects for investigation on suspicion of negligent homicide: that’s the gym operator, and Mr. Chen’s opponent, a 27-year-old man surnamed Hsu. Mr. Hsu was shocked and saddened by the incident, allegedly saying that he hadn’t meant to beat Mr. Chen to death. Whether the gym bears responsibility, and whether there were shortcomings in relation to safety inspections and oversight remains to be seen.

拳擊格鬥賽傳命案! 30歲工程師"頭遭重擊"搶救4天亡
2026-05-22
台北一名30歲陳姓工程師，練拳擊練了一年，上週末去台北市松山區一間拳館參加新人拳擊格鬥賽，頭部多次被重擊，比完賽還能自行就醫，沒想到沒多久就陷入昏迷，送醫搶救4天後仍然宣告不治。

“陳姓男子當時就是來台北市松山區這間拳館參加拳擊比賽，他被技術性擊倒之後，事後覺得不對勁自行就醫，沒想到在4天後就宣告不治。”

“聯絡不到業主，所以我們暫時沒辦法做一個聯合稽查。在昨天已經相驗完畢，目前得知的消息是，家屬對這個案子，好像沒有提出很大的問題和反應。”

“我在台灣其實我在業界才3年，我看過最少3位選手死掉，全部都是新手，尤其這種小比賽，他們就覺得很好玩，那就是上台就拚命地亂轟，全力在那邊亂轟，但是這是最危險的，因為我們有經驗的選手會知道收力，哪裡可以打、哪邊可以出力、哪邊不可以出力。”

“那像這個案例，也許第一時間症狀沒有那麼嚴重，或是那麼明顯，隨著時間過去，症狀不斷惡化，那像這一種，我們臨床上面都會擔心，是不是有延遲性的腦出血發生。”
檢警訊後依過失致死罪，函送60歲鄭姓負責人和27歲許姓選手，許姓選手則是喊冤說「不是故意要打死他」，發生這樣的事也相當震驚遺憾。練拳不幸喪命，究竟拳館有沒有責任，稽查有沒有問題，還要等進一步釐清。
