Musa Yamak’s Cause Of Death
According to reports, the professional boxer died at the age of 38 during a fight on 14th May 2022.
The cause of death is a heart attack. He also collapsed in the ring after a fight earlier in the day in Garching, Germany, at a tiny competition.
Yamak, 38, was knocked out in the second round by Ugandan veteran Hamza Askan Yamak and tried to proceed in the third. After being injured Musa tried his best. But then collapsed on the mat before the third round began. He had an undefeated 8-0 record that too of knockout.
Hassan Turan, a member of the National Assembly of Turkey announced this news on the internet.
“We lost our compatriot Musa Askan Yamak, a boxer from Alucra, who won European and Asian championships, at a young age after a heart attack.
I wish God’s mercy on the deceased, whom we met at the Grand National Assembly of Turkey when he came to Ankara for the competition, and my condolences to his sad family and fans.”
