Sim v Lim (scheduled muay thai fight)edit
On 31 July 2017, it was announced that Sim will be fighting prominent local celebrity Steven Lim in a muay thai "celebrity bout".[1] The fight was supposed to be held on 23 September 2017 at the inaugural Asia Fighting Championship event in Singapore.[1]
However, one day before the actual fight, Sim reportedly dropped out of the fight due to "insufficient insurance coverage provided by the organisers and restrictions on increased coverage as stipulated by the insurance companies."[2][3] According to Sim's management agency, "this decision was made after careful considerations of the potential risks involved and ensuring Sylvester’s safety and well-being is of paramount importance."[2][3] However, many locals believed that Sim pulled out as Lim, through a series of posts on social media, demonstrated that he was training for the fight seriously. As such, the fight, informally dubbed Sim-Lim in the Square (after local landmark Sim Lim Square), never took place.
Sim was replaced by Pradip Subramanian, the President of the World Bodybuilding and Physique Sports Federation in Singapore.[2] During the match, Subramanian took a "few blows to the head" and lost to Lim via a technical knockout.[4] Subramanian lost consciousness shortly after and died from a cardiac arrest respiratory failure.[5] It was reported that there were people who blamed Sim's "last-minute pull-out", suggesting that Sim's action was a cause of Subramanian's death, but "there were many others who disagreed with this opinion".[6] Lim was crowned the champion following his improbable victory, which kick-started his own personal fitness journey and cult of celebrity.
