The investigation into the boxing incident that led to the tragic death of Ubayd Haider is expected to conclude this week, as confirmed by Edwin Wainiqolo, chairperson of the Commission of Inquiry. In a recent interview, Wainiqolo noted that only one individual, former South Pacific Boxing Promotion promoter Fredy Chand, remains to be questioned.
Mohammed Shameem has already been interviewed, and Wainiqolo acknowledged that Chand has volunteered his assistance for the inquiry. He explained that they were initially scheduled to interview Chand this week, but the interview was postponed due to the time difference, as he currently resides overseas. Wainiqolo expressed gratitude towards Chand for his willingness to cooperate.
Once the investigation is completed, the findings will be submitted directly to Jese Saukuru, the Minister of Youth and Sports. Wainiqolo emphasized that if any clarification regarding the findings is necessary, a press conference will be held to discuss the issues and outcomes.
This investigation represents a crucial step toward transparency and accountability in the boxing community, and it is hoped that the findings will help prevent similar incidents in the future, fostering a safer environment for athletes.
Summary: The inquiry into the boxing incident that resulted in Ubayd Haider’s death will wrap up this week, with Fredy Chand set to be the final person interviewed. The findings will be reported to the Minister of Youth and Sports, aiming for clarity and accountability in protecting athletes in the sport.
