Nearly 3 months after a boxing bout that had a fatal result, Adam Braidwood stepped back into the ring Friday night for the first time since his knock-out win over his friend Tim Hague in Edmonton. Hague later died from because of a brain injury two days later.
Adam Braidwood was a headliner in a bout with Mexico’s Wilfredo Leal at Summer Slugfest 7 at Western Speedway.
