The Russian Boxing Federation (RBF) plans organizing an event to honor the late Maxim Dadashev, who died last month due to injuries sustained in the ring, according to the RBF's Secretary General Eduard Kremlev.

Dadashev of Russia passed away in a United States hospital last week after sustaining severe injuries to his head in a bout which took place on July 19.

"We will discuss a possible organization of this event and I believe that we will have the required support as all of the boxers are unanimously in favor of this," Kremlev said in an interview. "We will certainly organize this event.

Dadashev was hospitalized after his IBF junior welterweight final eliminator against Puerto Rican puncher Subriel Matias, in a fight which took place in Oxon Hill, Maryland.

The Russian boxer’s trainer, Buddy McGirt, stopped the fight at the end of the eleventh round due to the rapidly worsening condition of Dadashev, as Matias was repeatedly landing heavy punches on his face and body.

After the fight was stopped and Dadashev left the ring, he started vomiting and then lost his consciousness. He was rushed to a local hospital, where doctors diagnosed him with severe brain swelling. Emergency surgery was scheduled immediately. Dadashev died  a few days later.

Dadashev, known by the alias ‘Mad Max,’ was 28-years old. He was born in the Russian city of Saint Petersburg and boasted a professional record of 13 wins (11 by KOs) and one defeat. Dadashev suffered his only career defeat at the hands of Matias.
