Ghana has initiated an investigation into the death of Nigerian boxer Segun Olanrewaju, who collapsed during a bout against Ghanaian Jon Mbanugu at Fight Night 15 in Accra on March 29.
Olanrewaju, a former West African and national light-heavyweight champion with a 24-fight record, collapsed in the third round and was later pronounced dead at Korle Bu Teaching Hospital.
Ghana’s Sports Minister, Kofi Adams, confirmed that a committee would be set up for a thorough and transparent probe.
The investigation comes amid allegations by the Nigerian Boxing Board of Control’s Secretary-General, Remi Aboderin, that the fight did not follow proper regulations, raising broader concerns over fighter safety in professional boxing.
“It is only through an investigation that we can determine if all the necessary fight protocols were followed, including ringside safety measures and the presence of paramedics,” Adams said. “We need to institute a committee to look into what happened, and I assure everyone that nothing will be covered up.”
