«Even today we have positive news, Daniele's conditions continue to improve». Alessandro Cherchi, promoter of boxer Daniele "King Toretto" Scardina, who has been in a coma at the Humanitas clinic in Rozzano (Milan) for days after falling ill at the end of training, speaks to ANSA.

"We have just left the hospital - he added - the doctors have reassured us of the improvement in his clinical picture and since the indicators give us hope, they have decided to wait a few more days to start the awakening procedures. They want to create the optimal conditions for this step».

Cherchi has been collaborating with the champion since 2019 and today he was with Scardina's family, still in the hospital together with a group of longtime friends. Today his brother Giovanni Scardina, using the boxer's Instagram profile, published a message for all his supporters, inviting them to join this evening in a moment of prayer for him. «A week ago Daniele began the most important battle of his life and today he silently continues to fight to win it. The Scardina family thanks the doctors, who have never lacked incredible support and attention, and also thanks all those who have warmly gathered around our Dani with a message and a thought».

And again: «Those who know and love Daniele know how much faith and community are very important values for him. Today at 20 and like every day we want to join in prayer. Wherever you are, we ask that you join us in spirit. We are sure that God is with him. Never lose faith. Thank you," he concluded.
