They said, “After sparring ?! What kind of sparring was that?!” Furthermore, they also questioned why the coach let him continue, “What were his coaches thinking? A young star such as that. He should’ve been done after the first knockdown.”

Additionally, fans suggested the idea that sparring sessions should only be a means to develop strategies for an upcoming fight and not to knock out their opponents in the ring.

Another recent tragedy in South African boxing

Unfortunately, Ameaze’s death isn’t the only tragic incident in recent history as another fighter, Simiso Buthelezi suffered a brain injury on June 5, 2022. In his fight against Mntungwa, Buthelezi was dropped at the ropes with a hard jab.

Moreover, this shot caused serious damage to the African fighter, as he was disoriented and started punching the air in a different direction. The fight was called off and Buthelezi was rushed to the hospital. However, after being in a medically-induced coma, Buthelezi took his final breath.
