      • FRIDAY, October 3rd, 2003: Less than 2 weeks ago, former 2 Time IKF Amateur Champion Adam Rogers was involved in a near fatal motorcycle accident when he ran into a wild boar, that left him in a coma. We are sad to announce that he is still in that coma today. It now has been close to 10 days & the doctors (neuro-specialists) do not see any improvements or changes in his condition. To put it mildly, they do not believe that he will come out of his coma anytime soon. Those close to him that have been spending time with him have seen small positive signs but the doctors involved do not see them as significant enough to consider them signs of progress. They have also noted that they do not anticipate any changes in Adam's status or further treatments during this coming week. We here at the IKF would like to ask all of you to keep Adam in your prayers as we will do.
      • June, 2006: Adam was in a coma for 30 days. came out of his Coma but is still in a recovery state. As of this date he still could not walk but vowed he will soon.

-W-

• Truman Ward
  Los Lumas, New Mexico, USA, Tony Rosalis
  • IKF Amateur Full Contact Rules United States Light Heavyweight Title
    • Ward won his title when he defeatedMike "MOHAMAD" Duran by TKO in the third round at Travis AFB in Fairfield, CA, USA. Ward hit Duran with a strong spinning backfist. The strike sparked controversy as some thought Ward hit Duran with a spinning elbow. Upon video review though, Ward hit Duran with the back of the glove. Ward was winning on all the judges cards 19-18. Before the final blow, Duran had 2 standing 8 counts from Wards strong attack and was clearly in trouble. The bout was at Travis Air Force Base in Fairfield, CA, USA on September 18th, 1993
    • After Ward's win, the event promoter, (Jacob Duran) who was also Doran's (No relation) trainer refused to purchase Ward's IKF title belt since he still thought the blow was illegal (Spinning backfist) Ward's whereabouts are unknown but we do know that he is the only IKF champion without an IKF title bout. This incident made the IKF decide to ALWAYS request belt deposits from promoters BEFORE an IKF sanctioned event.
