British boxer Sherif Lawal has died following a head injury he sustained during his professional debut, according to multiple outlets. He was 29. Lawal was competing at the Harrow Leisure
Centre in London on Sunday, May 12, when he suffered a blow to the temple, the event's promoter Warren Boxing Management said in a statement on social media the following day. “Last
night, Sherif Lawal was making his debut at a show at Harrow Leisure Centre, in which our boxer Courtney Bennett was scheduled to fight," the statement said. "Unfortunately during
Sherif’s fight, he collapsed and despite the best efforts of the paramedics, he was later pronounced dead." Concluding the statement, Warren Boxing Management offered their condolences
to Lawal's "family, friends, coaches and all those close to him at this tragic time." According to ESPN, Lawal's fight against Portuguese opponent Malam Varela was the
first match of the event, and the following fights were canceled after Lawal suffered the fatal injury. NEVER MISS A STORY — SIGN UP FOR PEOPLE'S FREE DAILY NEWSLETTER TO STAY

confirming Lawal's death, according to NBC. "The thoughts of all those involved in Boxing in Great Britain are with them at this difficult time," the board's statement
said. Additional details were not provided. In 2021, a similar tragedy occurred when 18-year-old boxer Jeanette Zacarias Zapata sustained injuries to her brain while fighting Canada's
Marie-Pier Houle, according to the Associated Press. Zapata was attended to by her partner and trainer, Jovanni Martinez, and a medical team at the stadium took her to a local hospital
where she was placed in a medically induced coma, the AP reported. Her death was announced by event promoter Groupe Yvon Michel in a statement on Thursday night. "It is with great
sadness and torment that we have learned, from a representative of her family, that Jeannette Zacarias Zapata passed away this afternoon at 3:45 p.m.," the statement read.
