R.I.P.. Very beautiful lady. I pray for her family. Hate reading stuff like this. People don't understand what Boxers put their body through just to make weight and perform at a high level. If they did they'd have more respect for the sport.

Very sad. Do they do cardiac screening in boxing yet. I know football does.

The article said cause of death was a pulmonary embolism leading to the cardiac arrest. Unlikely a cardiac screening would have picked that up. She might have had a leg injury at one point causing a deep vein thrombosis which lead to the Pulmonary embolism. No way to predict or prevent that sort of thing especially in an otherwise healthy young individual. Very sad and unfortunate loss.

So sad for a young girl with great potential Unfortunately they do no forms of heart or cardiac testing during training only when if they're within certain organizations 7:10 and 30-day monitoring in preparations for a title bout...
