The boxing world has lost another star, Musa Yamak. The undefeated boxer died during a match on May 15 when he had a heart attack and collapsed on the mat. He was 38 years old at the time of death.
The incident happened in Germany when Musa was in the middle of a fight with Hamza Wandera. He reportedly took one final blow from Wandera in the second round and while coming out of his corner for the third round, stumbled and fell to the ground.
Trainers and medical personnel rushed to help him and he was admitted to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead of a heart attack. A spokesman for the Munich police said,
“The paramedics saw turbulent scenes of emotionally charged fans and family members on site. To ensure the safety of the paramedics, we sent out a lot of patrols. We then set up a protection corridor on site so that the paramedics could work safely and conscientiously.”
Turkish official Hasan Turan expressed his grief and wrote in a social media post,
“I wish God’s mercy on the deceased … my condolences to his sad family and fans.”
