    He was still fighting for his family at 44.

    A boxer with enormous power, yet another sad news for boxing.

    That's absolutely awful. I watched a whole bunch of his fights and he was tough as old boots and game as they come. He should not have been fighting at that age, especially given the amount of punishment he took throughout his career. Even in his prime years he was too easy to hit took a ton of it. He fought a lot of big punchers too. He should've retired long ago. RIP, champ

    RIP
    Way too young to pass
    Boxing is brutal and it's sad if he felt he still had to fight at that age to put bread on the table

    Oh no! RIP, warrior.

    I loved this guy. I was huge on Kudrashayov at the time, and when the fight happened, I was in Peru and did not have access cell phone or internet for a few days. When I finally found out Durodola won, I was shocked...but I always loved "God's Power" after that!

    Well, he was a man who gave the glory to god, so he's going home.

    Epic glass cannon. As the former ambassador of the HW/CW thread I express our collective condolences.

    Guys, that isn't Ola Durodola, but in fact someone else called Gabriel Oluwasegun Olanrewaju.

    Oh, wow. Not God's Power?

    Man, he's going to be the Paul McCartney of boxing!

    Anyway, I don't know this man, but I still feel very bad for him and his family. RIP. I feel like garbage that I felt received. It's somebodies son, and a tragedy to those around him.

    Just looking over Durradola's record, and he actually beat this poor man in 2020.
