Death

On July 19, 2019, Dadashev fought Subriel Matías as part of a Top Rank event aired by ESPN at the MGM National Harbor in Oxon Hill, Maryland.{{cite news |url=https://www.espn.com/boxing/story/_/id/27244105/boxer-dadashev-dies-friday-fight-injuries |title=Boxer Dadashev dies from Friday fight injuries |first1=Dan |last1=Rafael |first2=Steve |last2=Kim |publisher=ESPN |date=July 23, 2019 |accessdate=July 24, 2019}} The fight was an IBF light-welterweight title elimination bout with the winner receiving a shot at the title.{{cite news |title=Maxim Dadashev dies after boxing injuries sustained against Subriel Matias |url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/boxing/49091133 |accessdate=July 24, 2019 |publisher=BBC News |date=July 24, 2019}} Dadashev lost via stoppage after his trainer, Buddy McGirt, asked the referee to stop the contest at the end of the eleventh round. Dadashev, losing significantly on the official scorecards, protested but McGirt overruled him believing that he could not take any more punishment; McGirt later said he had considered doing so two rounds earlier as he felt his fighter was fading and taking too many hits.

Dadashev needed help to get out of the ring and was unable to make it to his dressing room before he collapsed and vomited in the corridor. He was rushed to the University of Maryland Prince George's Hospital Center, where he was diagnosed with a subdural hematoma and underwent emergency surgery to stop the bleeding. He was then placed in an induced coma to try to allow the swelling in his brain to subside. However, Dadashev's condition worsened and on July 23 he died in the hospital. He is survived by his wife, Elizaveta, and a son.{{cite news |url=https://www.cbssports.com/boxing/news/boxer-maxim-dadashev-dies-at-28-after-suffering-brain-injury-in-tko-loss/ |title=Boxer Maxim Dadashev dies at 28 after suffering brain injury in TKO loss |first=Jack |last=Crosby |work=CBS Sports |date=July 23, 2019 |accessdate=July 24, 2019}}

The Boxing Federation of Russia launched an investigation into the tragedy, and pledged to support Dadashev's family financially. The Maryland State Athletic Commission announced it would also conduct an investigation.{{cite news |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2019/07/25/maryland-state-athletic-commission-review-boxing-match-that-led-death-maxim-dadashev/ |title=Maryland State Athletic Commission to review boxing match that led to death of Maxim Dadashev |first=Gene |last=Wang |newspaper=The Washington Post |url-access=limited |date=July 24, 2019 |accessdate=July 25, 2019}} An investigator called McGirt and asked what he saw that officials didn't that made him stop the fight.
