Boxing South Africa said that Buthelezi died on Tuesday night after being placed into a coma on Sunday. He was young at the time.

The boxer was rushed to the hospital after he became confused in the ring and lost consciousness. He was put into a coma on Sunday night.

The Buthelezi family and Boxing South Africa are sad to announce that Mr. Buthelezi passed away last night in a hospital in South Africa.

Mr Buthelezi was taken to the hospital after collapsing and it was discovered that he had suffered a brain injury. The best care was given to Mr Buthelezi at the hospital.

He had taken no heavy blows to the head during the fight and his trainer told the media that he was in perfect health before the fight.

The trainer said there was nothing wrong in the fight and training. He was in charge of the fight before it happened.

I don't know what happened. In his training and in the build-up to the fight, there was no reason for him to be upset. Before the fight, he was in good shape.

The incident caught the attention of the world's boxing media due to the confusing nature of his symptoms in the ring.

His opponent stumbled backwards between the ropes when Buthelezi went on the attack.

The referee called for the medics after Buthelezi shadowboxed towards the corner of the ring, after he turned his back on Mntungwa.

The arena was "dumbfounded" by Buthelezi's sudden change of demeanor, as he was in full control of the fight from the beginning, according to the ring commentator. His opponent didn't punish him.

His opponent fell out of the ring at the end of the round. No one knew what was happening when Buthelezi began swinging wildly. It was quite strange.

Buthelezi just graduated with a degree in biology.
