The investigation into the boxing incident that resulted in the tragic passing of Ubayd Haider is expected to conclude this week, as confirmed by Edwin Wainiqolo, the chairperson of the Commission of Inquiry, during an interview. Wainiqolo stated that there is just one individual left to be questioned: former promoter of South Pacific Boxing Promotions, Fredy Chand.
The Commission has already completed interviews with other key figures involved, including Mohammed Shameem. Chand has willingly agreed to provide assistance in the investigation, although he is currently residing overseas, which has led to some scheduling challenges due to time differences.
Wainiqolo noted that if any further clarifications on the findings are required, a press conference will be held to address these issues. The results of the investigation will be submitted directly to the Minister of Youth and Sports, Jese Saukuru.
This investigation demonstrates a commitment to transparency and accountability in the boxing community, ensuring that the circumstances surrounding Haider’s death are thoroughly examined. As the inquiry wraps up, stakeholders will be keenly awaiting the findings, which may lead to important changes in policies or practices aimed at enhancing safety in the sport.
Overall, the investigation encapsulates a collective effort to uphold the integrity of boxing while remembering the life of Ubayd Haider, with hopes that lessons learned will contribute to a safer environment for athletes in the future.
