Boxer Sebastian “Sniper” Singh expressed deep sorrow over the recent passing of his brother, Ubayd Haider, previously known as Nathan Singh. The tragedy unfolded after Haider suffered a TKO loss in the IBO Asia Pacific Super Featherweight title fight against Runqi Zhou on October 26. After the match, the 25-year-old collapsed and was rushed to Lautoka Aspen Hospital, where he remained until his untimely death.
In a heartfelt tribute, Sebastian shared his grief, saying, “Isa my bro, you really broke my heart. I wish it was me instead.” He continued, “Sa mosimosi saraga noqu rosi. You will forever be in my heart. Your legacy will live on. Love you my bro.”
The community will have the opportunity to pay their respects, as Mr. Haider’s body will be displayed at the FMF Gymnasium from 3 PM to 5 PM on Tuesday, November 12. The final rites are scheduled to take place at Raralevu cemetery at 8:30 PM.
This heartbreaking event sheds light on the risks associated with professional sports and the profound impact they have on athletes and their families. While this is a moment of significant loss, it also highlights the strong bonds of love and support within families and communities. The legacy of Ubayd Haider will undoubtedly live on through the memories and stories shared by those who knew and loved him.
