Boxing promoter Yvon Michel had tweeted earlier Sunday morning that Stevenson was in critical condition in intensive care.

'We fear he has a concussion... This is very worrisome,' Michel said. 

The boxer's fiance, Simone God, said she was at the hospital supporting her partner.

'He's a champion, he's a fighter, he's going to fight this,' she said, according to Boxing Scene. 

'We're partners in life and we're partners in business. He's resting right now, showing good signs, and we're hoping for the best. I have faith that he's going to be okay. 

'We have good people here, we have support, and we're trying to keep it together for Adonis and to stay strong for our baby, Adonia.' 

Stevenson was making his 10th title defense since winning the belt against Chad Dawson in 2013. 

It was his first loss since 2010 and the first in Canada.

Gvozdyk, 31, was fighting in Canada for the first time. 

Stevenson was ahead on two of the judges' card and tied on the third when he was stopped.

Stevenson fell early in the third round after getting hit by Gvozdyk but referee Michael Griffin said it was a slip.

In the sixth round, Stevenson threw more punches to the body, which is something that he rarely does. He hit Gvozdyk in the abdomen and shook him, causing Stevenson to finish the round strongly.

Stevenson controlled the center of the ring for part of the match, but in the 10th round Gvozdyk finished with a series of blows that seemed to motivate him for the 11th round.

Gvozdyk continued with his series of flurries that got Stevenson in the ropes in the middle of the 11th, before sending the Canadian to the canvas with three solid right punches.

On the undercard, Montreal's Oscar Rivas unanimously outpointed Brazil's Fabio Maldonado to retain the NABF heavyweight title.

Gvozdyk, 31, was fighting in Canada for the first time when he claimed the World Boxing Council light heavyweight title

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
