Scotty Olson

On the morning of January 18, 2015, Olson suffered a near-fatal heart attack at his home. His wife performed CPR until medical help arrived. He was placed in a medically-induced coma, after which two stents were put into his heart. Doctors were initially concerned about his condition since his brain had been deprived of oxygen for "a period of time"; they weren't certain if he would come out of the coma, or what condition he would be in if he did come out of it. Fortunately, Olson did come out of the coma about a week after the heart attack, and he was released from the hospital a week after that.

He also became International Boxing Organization and United States Boxing Association flyweight champion, before retiring in 2002, having recorded 34 wins, 25 knockouts, 4 losses and 2 draws, one of his losses, a 10th-round knockout defeat against Michael Carbajal in a long-awaited bout. He now coaches coaches to help train Canadian boxers.
