The world of boxing was rocked by tragedy as middleweight boxer Sherif Lawal tragically lost his life during his professional debut match. The 29-year-old athlete, filled with aspirations and dreams, entered the ring for his much-anticipated debut against Portuguese opponent Malam Varela at the Harrow Leisure Centre on Sunday.

Lawal, eager to make a mark in his inaugural professional fight, faced a formidable opponent in Varela. However, the bout took a devastating turn in the fourth round when Lawal was knocked down by a powerful punch that landed squarely on his face. Despite the efforts of his opponent, Lawal could not recover, and he collapsed in the ring.

Paramedics, who were on standby, rushed to Lawal’s aid, but the blow proved fatal. Despite their swift response, Lawal could not be revived, and he was tragically pronounced dead at the scene.
