Boxing often gives fans a big show, more so when it comes to knockouts. Anthony Joshua destroying Jake Paul a couple of months ago could be the more famous recent example of that.

It is normal to see stars suffering that fate, but when it comes to newcomers, it is hard to see them take punishment. On Saturday, Jocelyn Camarillo recorded a dominant win over 19-year-old Isis Sio.

With 48 seconds left in the first round, Camarillo landed a big left hand in Sio’s face. She landed three more hits before her opponent fell to the ground and the referee stopped the fight. Sio wasn’t in the best shape after that, and the aftermath turned more dramatic.

Vinny’s Corner reported that Sio was in the Intensive Care Unit at Loma Linda Medical following the fight.

Supreme Boxing on Instagram added that Sio suffered a knockout on January 30, during a fight against Perla Bazualda. Giving her another chance to fight so quickly proved to be a bad decision.

Isis Sio made history in 2025

In August 2025, Isis Sio prepared for her first professional fight. She became the first pro boxer from North Dakota to compete in North Dakota since Mariah Prussia in March 2019. At the time of writing, she holds a 1-3-0 professional record.

Sio lost to Jessica Radtke Maltez via unanimous decision in her first fight. She bounced back with a UD win over Katelyn Radtka before losing back-to-back fights via knockout.
