U.S. heavyweight boxer Shannon Briggs says he will remain in a Hamburg hospital because of a left arm injury sustained in a loss to Vitali Klitschko.
Briggs lost a unanimous decision to the Ukrainian in the WBC title fight. He was not knocked down but absorbed more than 170 direct hits in Saturday's bout.
In a statement from Briggs issued by the hospital, the U.S. fighter said he had suffered no ''severe head injuries.''
Briggs said it was his decision not to quit although his corner had wanted to stop the one-sided bout.
