Canadian boxer Adonis Stevenson has regained consciousness after being in a medically induced coma for three weeks following a knockout loss on Dec. 1.
Stevenson?s girlfriend, Simone God, issued a statement Saturday saying the light heavyweight boxer is now awake.
?He is healing from his injury in the private company of his family and his dedicated medical team,? said God.
?Adonis is a world champion in the ring and is exhibiting that same grit, strength and determination in his recovery.?

Intensive care specialist Dr. Alexis Turgeon told reporters earlier this month that the majority of patients suffer lasting effects from such injuries.
God said she wanted to clarify Stevenson?s status after ?recent reports leaked to media.?
