Fiji Boxing Commission mandates medical certificates for fighters after tragic death

The Boxing Commission of Fiji has announced that boxers must provide medical certificates clearing them of injuries before they can fight. This decision follows the death of boxer Ubayd Haider, who collapsed after a match in October. The Commission is under scrutiny as it investigates Haider's death. Chair Adi Narayan emphasized that strict safety protocols will be enforced to prevent injured fighters from competing. Concerns have been raised by boxing officials about the need for better safety measures. The Liverpool Hospital has not confirmed the authenticity of a circulated medical report related to Haider's condition prior to his collapse.
