Nigerian professional boxer Gabriel Oluwasegun Olanrewaju tragically passed away over the weekend … after the light heavyweight fighter collapsed during an eight-round bout.

The Ghana Boxing Authority confirmed the death of the 13-8 boxer … stating during the third round of the match, Olanrewaju fell back into the ropes without any contact from his opponent, 12-1 Ghanaian fighter Jon Mbanugu.

Referee Richard Amevi immediately stopped the fight when he realized something was wrong with Olanrewaju … and the ringside physician and EMS administered aid, including CPR.

“We are really devastated,” said Remi Aboderin, the general secretary of the Nigeria Boxing Board of Control.

“[This] is not something we envisaged. We will live up to our responsibility and make sure that we stand [by] the family.”

Olanrewaju was confirmed medically fit and approved to fight Mbanugu by the NBBC prior to the event.

Olanrewaju, a 6’1″ orthodox fighter, began his pro boxing career in 2019 and won several fights, including the West African Boxing Union light heavyweight title after a knockout win over Simon Olayinka in 2023.

Matt Rife is officially off the market — TMZ can confirm he’s dating fitness model Mariah Morse!

It’s unclear how long the comedian and the blonde bombshell have been an item, but one thing’s for sure — they’re all in, with Mariah even posting a pic with Matt’s dog, Hammer, on Sunday.

It was a fun weekend for Matt and Mariah — they were spotted holding hands as they entered a Rhode Island club, and she was also spotted by his side in a group IG pic.

Definitely looks like Matt has a type — blondes! His last relationship was with actress and dancer Jessica Lord, but they called it quits last summer.

David Hasselhoff didn’t attend his ex-wife Pamela Bach‘s funeral service over the weekend, TMZ has learned.

Sources tell TMZ that witnesses at the service say David was nowhere to be seen at the Saturday service for Pamela, which was held at the Bel Air Presbyterian Church.

When TMZ asked his rep why he didn’t attend, they declined to comment on the reason for his absence.

In video obtained by TMZ, David is seen in throwback images on the screen at the church service, with Pamela during happier times.

David and Pamela were married from 1989 to 2006, but their divorce was highly contentious, with disputes over spousal support lasting until 2017.

However, David gave TMZ a statement after her death, saying he and his family are saddened by her passing, and requested privacy as they navigated their grief.

Pamela was 62.
