Boxer Musa Yamak died at the age of 38. He died in the ring while tussling against Hamza Wandera. A blow in the second round may have been the fatal one as the boxer collapsed and the medical personnel declared him dead. When I think about professional sportspeople dying while playing, NBA star Pete Maravich jumps to my mind, and as tragic as his death was, there have been even worse instances of people dying while playing their game. Hank Gathers died when he was just 23 while going up and down the basketball floor, but it was something that the doctors warned him about.
