Unbeaten light heavyweight boxer Miracle Amaeze of Nigeria passes away untimely at the age of 18 after a tragic sparring match. In his native Nigeria, Miracle Amaeze was a rising light heavyweight star.
However, according to reports in Nigeria, he passed away after the horrifying incident. The 18-year-old is alleged to have passed out during training yesterday morning in the major city of Lagos after being knocked down twice.
He received first aid care and was taken urgently to the hospital, but he did not survive and was pronounced dead that night.
Amaeze was considered to be the greatest boxer in Nigeria and had a perfect 2-0 record in his professional career.
In his hometown, he won both of his fights via first-round knockouts, including the second just three weeks ago on July 1.
Amaeze’s tragic demise occurs only a few weeks after lightweight Simiso Buthelezi of South Africa also passed away as a result of ring-related injuries. After receiving head trauma during his fight with Siphesihle Mntungwa in Durban in June, Buthelezi began tossing punches into the air.
