Gabriel Oluwasegun "Success" Olanrewaju, a 40-year-old Nigerian boxer, tragically died after collapsing in the ring during a bout in Accra, Ghana. He fell onto the ropes in the third round without being punched. First aid was administered, and he was rushed to the hospital, where he died half an hour later. The Ghana Boxing Authority confirmed that he had been declared medically fit for the fight, although the Nigerian Boxing Board Control disputed the fight's approval, raising concerns about the circumstances leading to this fatal incident.
"Oluwasegun, a few seconds before the end of round 3, stepped back during the fight and leaned on the ropes with his back without any punch whatsoever from his opponent."
"The physician with the support of paramedics from the national ambulance service attended to the boxer to help resuscitate him."
