Former title contender Magomed Abdusalamov, who suffered severe brain damage in his last fight in 2013; his wife and their three young daughters are "destitute" and in danger of losing their place to live, according to court papers filed Tuesday.
The New York State Supreme Court filing by their attorney cites the family's financial situation and Abdusalamov's physical condition in seeking expedited discovery for their March 2014 lawsuit that alleges gross negligence and medical malpractice by the state athletic commission doctors, referee and inspector assigned to the fight.
