Boxer Prichard Colon's Father Protests Terrel Williams Weigh-in At Barclays Center

NEW YORK, NY - SEPTEMBER 07: Richard Colon, father of boxer Prichard Colon, protests during the Premier Boxing Championship, WBC World Welterweight Championship weigh-in at Barclays Center on September 7, 2018 in New York City. Boxer Terrel 'Tyger' Williams was slated to fight David Grayton in an undercard match, but the fight was moved to Philadelphia on September 14. His son, boxer Prichard Colon, suffered brain damage as result of injuries sustained during a fight against Williams on October 17, 2015. Following the fight and brain surgeries, Prichard was in a coma that left him in a vegetative state - unable walk or talk. In 2018, he has shown a small recovery, but still requires round the clock care. Last year, the family filed a suit seeking damages of $50 million for incompetence and negligence against the ringside physician and co-promoters of the fight. "I don't want people to get hurt," Richard Colon said after protesting. "This isn't going to cure my son, I just don't want other families to go through what we've been through."
