For any fan of boxing or combat sports, this is truly disturbing to see.
A match out of Africa from over the weekend, shows boxer Simiso Buthelezi confused as he starts fighting with an invisible opponent.
The referee immediately recognized the severity of the situation and stopped the fight.
After the fight, Buthelezi was in a coma
Sadly, last night it was reported that he passed away.
""At the hospital," Boxing South Africa officials said in a statement, "Mr. Buthelezi was given the best care possible but he however succumbed to the injury last night."
It's unclear when, where and how Buthelezi suffered the injury -- he was reportedly in control of the bout from the opening bell.
Boxing South Africa said in its statement an investigation into the fight and the death is underway.
"The Buthelezi family and Boxing South Africa acknowledges warm words of condolences of the Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture," officials said."
