MOTHER OF NIGERIAN BOXER WHO DIED IN THE BOXING RING IN GHANA CRIES FOR JUSTICE, ALLEGES FOUL PLAY
The mother of Nigerian boxer Gabriel Oluwasegun Olanrewaju has spoken out following her son’s tragic death.
Gabriel died at Korle Bu Teaching Hospital after collapsing during a fight. He was facing John Mbanugu, a Ghanaian boxer, in Accra, Ghana.
In the third round of their 8-round match, Gabriel lost consciousness. Medical staff attended to him at the Bukom Boxing Arena before he was rushed to the hospital.
Sadly, Gabriel couldn’t be saved and was pronounced dead just 30 minutes after reaching the hospital.
A recent video showing Gabriel’s mother has surfaced online. In it, she is crying and suggesting there was wrongdoing in the fight.
Speaking in her native language, she claims that someone threatened Gabriel before the fight, telling him to withdraw. He didn’t back down, and she believes this led to his untimely death.
