Former heavyweight fighter Magomed Abdusalamov, who has been in the hospital since suffering a blood clot on his brain during his November 2013 fight with Mike Perez, could be leaving the hospital soon to continue rehabilitating at home.

Abdusalamov's attorney spoke with RingTV.com:

"He is scheduled to hopefully get out of Helen Hayes this month and either into a home care system or an outpatient clinic," said Edelstein. "We’re not really sure which one it’s going to be but he is hopefully getting out of Helen Hayes this month. We’re hoping to get him into a home environment whereby therapists can come to his home and treat him and he can make visits to doctors. The idea is to train his wife to care for him and home because he still can’t feed himself, dress himself or clean himself, walk or talk," said Edelstein. "So you bring in the therapists for occupational and speech therapy, to some degree, like in the video where you see him hitting the balloon…Those are the kinds of repetitive things that he needs to do and a lot of that can be accomplished in a home environment."

A few hours following the brutal 10-round bout with Perez, doctors discovered a blood clot on Abdusalamov's brain and placed him in a medically-induced coma which he stayed in for about a month.

Abdusalamov's family filed a law suit in March against the New York State Athletic Commission's doctors and Madison Square Garden seeking damages for recklessness, gross negligence, and medical malpractice.

Fellow fighters have not forgotten about Abdusalamov. WBO light heavyweight champion Sergey Kovalev is auctioning off autographed items from his August 2 stoppage of Blake Caparello. The proceeds from the auction will go to Abdusalamov's family.
