Musa Yamak dead aged 38
German boxer Musa Yamak (8-1, 8KO) collapsed in ring with a heart attack in his ninth pro fight.
Unbeaten Turkish-born German Musa Yamak has tragically died at the young age of 38 after collapsing in the ring and suffering a heart attack against Hamza Wandera (20-19-3, 15KO) in his ninth professional bout on Saturday.
Yamak took a heavy shot in the second round in a local show in Buergerhaus, Garching, near Munich, promoted by Emre Yamak.
The light-heavyweight tried to come out for the third round but collapsed onto the floor and fell unconscious.
Yamak was later pronounced dead in the hospital after being diagnosed with having suffered a heart attack.
The Munich-based boxer turned pro in 2017 and most notably won the WBFed International title in 2021.
According to BILD, after Yamak collapsed, medics rushed into the ring and the boxing event was cancelled.
After the fans left the arena, family members and helpers removed the ring ropes and moved chairs to clear the way for the ambulance.
His passing is the second recorded in the ring this year after Armenian-born Russian boxer Arrest Sahakyan passing in January.
