Box­er Michael Alexan­der re­mained in crit­i­cal but sta­ble con­di­tion at the Port-of-Spain Gen­er­al Hos­pi­tal up to Sat­ur­day night.

Reynold Cox, the Tech­ni­cal Di­rec­tor of the T&T Box­ing As­so­ci­a­tion (TT­BA) who has been fol­low­ing the box­er's close­ly since the ac­ci­dent last week Wednes­day, con­firmed that there has been no change in his con­di­tion.

"We are still ask­ing for prayers for the box­er since he is not out of the woods as yet. The good thing though is that his pres­sure has been good and his vi­tals are al­so good. He is al­so sta­ble so that is good for us all," Cox told Guardian Me­dia Sports.

The 28-year-old was set to be in the T&T team to face the Olympic Qual­i­fiers in April. Cox was last night, ex­pect­ed to meet with the team to de­cide on a way they can help their col­league if and when he gets out of the hos­pi­tal.

Alexan­der, who won a bronze medal at the 2014 Com­mon­wealth Games in Glas­gow, Scot­land, was tak­en to the St James Med­ical Com­plex, West­ern Main Road, St James af­ter he crashed while rid­ing his mo­tor­cy­cle in­to a van at the cor­ner of Ci­ca­da Dri­ve, Riv­er Es­tate, and North Coast Road. He was lat­er trans­ferred to the PoS Gen­er­al Hos­pi­tal.

He is list­ed in the In­ten­sive Care Unit and is re­port­ed to have suf­fered two bro­ken ribs, a bro­ken left hand in and dam­age to his lungs.

Alexan­der of Rich­plain Diego Mar­tin, won bronze at the Pan Am Cham­pi­onships in 2013 in the men's light-wel­ter­weight (64kg); 2014 Cen­tral Amer­i­can and Caribbean Games, and the 2019 Pan Amer­i­can Games.
