German boxer Musa Askan Yamak died after suffering a heart attack during a fight in Munich on Saturday, in a calamity that shocked the fans in the arena who witnessed the event.

The 38-year-old, undefeated Yamak reportedly took a heavy blow in the second round of the fight. And as the two fighters left their corners for round three, Yamak suddenly collapsed.

Yamak, who was facing Ugandan boxer Hamza Wandera, is seen on video placing his hands to his knees before sinking to the matt, and then collapsing, the New York Post reported.
Medical techs attempted to revive the boxer but were unable to bring him back. He was taken to a hospital but pronounced dead.

“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,” Turkish politician Hasan Turan wrote on Twitter.

    RIP. It is heartbreaking, it reminds me of when Evander Holyfield had a heart attack in 1994 during his fight with Michael Moorer, he was lucky he didn't collapse and die that night.

    Holyfield's doctor, Ronald Stephens, said 'it was an absolute miracle' that Holyfield finished the bout, which he lost on a split decision. 'He fought 12 rounds essentially in heart failure,' Stephens said.
