In a heartfelt tribute, Jese Saukuru, the Minister for Youth and Sports, commemorated the life of the late boxer Ubayd Haider during a eulogy at the FMF gymnasium. With tears in his eyes, Mr. Saukuru expressed that Haider will be fondly remembered by all who knew him.
“May we find peace in the knowledge that he belongs to the Lord,” he remarked, as he bid farewell to the young boxer. Haider, who was not only a talented athlete but also a beloved son, brother, father, and friend, left a significant impact on those around him. Mr. Saukuru urged everyone to cherish Haider’s spirit and his passion for the sport that shaped his life.
The minister extended condolences to Haider’s family, emphasizing that they can take comfort in the fact that he will forever remain in the hearts of those whose lives he influenced. Haider, previously known as Nathan Singh, tragically lost his life following a TKO during his fight for the IBO Asia Pacific Super Featherweight title on October 26. After the bout, he collapsed and was taken to Lautoka Aspen Hospital, where he ultimately passed away.
This tragic event serves as a reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of cherishing our loved ones. While we mourn the loss of Ubayd Haider, it is crucial to celebrate his contributions to boxing and the joy he brought to many. His legacy will inspire future generations of athletes.
The community and sports world are uniting in remembrance and support for Haider’s family during this difficult time, showing that love and camaraderie can prevail even in moments of profound sorrow.
