Later on Sunday, on his social media account boxer Ochieng announced that he was fine.

"In all things I give Christ glory. I am fine and in good health, it was too hot in the venue for that cause I was feeling dizzy after a great performance and the paramedics were doing their job for health and safety reasons and routine. God bless, Eagle," he wrote.

Ochieng was born in Kaloleni, Nairobi, and later moved to London to join his parents.
