Seizure of some kind.

At first I thought he threw the fight. Then I realized that he probably threw an embolism.

Oh he'll be all right. Just needs smelling salts

Could the punch at 23-24 seconds in the video have been the cause of death?

Nigeria boxing council blame Ghana for poor medical procedure following death of boxer, Segun Olanrewaju

The Nigerian Boxing Board of Control (NBBofC) has accused the Ghanaian Boxing Authority of not carrying out proper medical checkup on late boxer, Segun ‘Success’ Olanrewaju, before allowing him to fight.

The former National and West African light-heavyweight champion collapsed in the ring during his fight against Ghanaian boxer Jon Mbanugu at Fight Night 15 of the Ghana Professional Boxing League, held at the Bukom Boxing Arena on Saturday, March 29.

He was later declared dead at Korle Bu Teaching Hospital.

Dr. Rafiu Ladipo, Chairman of the NBBofC, voiced his anger over the incident, questioning the medical procedures followed by the Ghanaian authorities.

He said, “It was devastating and we in Nigeria have been thrown into mourning.

“How can a former Nigerian champion go for a fight in Ghana and die in the ring?

“We are asking the Ghana Boxing Authority (GBA) to explain the circumstances that led to his death because the fighter was released by the NBBofC to go there and fight on Friday.”

However, GBA spokesperson Amin Lamptey defended their procedures, asserting that all required protocols had been properly followed.

Lamptey said, “What happened is very sad and all of us here commiserate with his family.

“He was supposed to fight on Friday but the fight couldn’t come up so the promotion connected with Ghana Boxing Authority, requested for him to be on the undercard of the next fight.

“His information was already with us as it was for the previous fight, his records, the reports, and his credibility as a former champion, we know his history, and in Ghana, we have to check this thing as an organisation before the fight was approved.”

However, the secretary general of the NBBofC, Remi Aboderin, refuted these claims.

He said, “In this case, there was no invitation to the NBBofC from Ghana.

“The boxer got a contract from the promoter from Ghana, he then came to the board to show us, we read the contract paper, saw the date and we gave him a release permit based on that.

“On Monday (March 24), he called me saying that he had a fight and would be coming to the office on Tuesday.

“He came to my office and I prepared his release letter for Ghana.

“It is a must for the local commission, in this case, the GBA to provide the medical fee to do medicals on the day of weigh-in and I am made to understand that no medical was done on Thursday, yet they had the weigh-in.”

Coach Austin Okporu, who accompanied another Nigerian boxer to Ghana, supported the NBBofC’s concerns regarding the medical protocols.

He said, “Even me and the boxer that went for the fight, no medical was done before our fight.

“I even asked them, ‘Where are the medical personnel for the fight?

“It is only a weigh-in and then, they fight.”

Meanwhile, the NBBofC has imposed a two-week suspension on all professional boxing events in Nigeria to honor the late fighter.
