The first two rounds pass seemingly good for both fighters. They trade shots and go back and forth in the ring, however at the end of round two something that causes the unpleasant event happens. Wandera lands a great body shot on Musa and the bell saves him from a further beating. As soon as he faces his opponent in round three and the bell chimes, Musa feels a pain in the chest and tumbles to the ground.
Hamza starts walking toward him, but he backs up in his corner as soon as he notices that something is not right. When the medical team sees that he is unconscious, they rush to the ring to provide medical assistance. However, this is not of much help. The boxer is already dead.
