World Boxing Federation (WBF)
International Light Heavyweight
Champion Musa Yamak from Germany
tragically passed away on Saturday,
May 14. He was 38 years old.
Yamak was taking part in a non
title-fight against Ugandan Hamza
Wandera in Garching, Germany, when
he suddenly collapsed before the
start of round three.
It has been reported that he
suffered a heart-attack, and that he
had not been hit with any punches of
significance up until that point.
Yamak won the WBF title last
November, stopping Siarhei
Huliakevich in seven rounds, taking
his professional record to 8-0 (8).
Everyone at the World Boxing
Federation (WBF) are deeply
saddened, and would like to express
our sincere condolences to the
family and friends of Musa Yamak.
Rest in Peace Champion!
