R.I.P. ALI "TGE" Raymi

@asianboxing - who is a credible source - just said Raymi is still on to fight Hani Ansi in July.

 

So is he dead or not? I'm confused.

 

There doesn't seem to have been any official announcement, however the Saudis have been bombing Yemen quite heavily this past week or so including the region where Raymi apparently lives.

His Wikipedia page has his date of death as 25th May 2015, so it is quite likely that he may really be dead.

Although I'm now informed that the death date has been removed and his next fight is still on.

Who knows?

The legend continues .....

 

Reddit says that he died on May 23rd after being critically injured in an ISIS bombing in a Mosque in Sanaa on May 22nd.

Here's a link to the Reddit Thread:

A link to a news article about the bombing:

And a link to the Yemen boxing Federation:

I can't say whether it is legit or not

 

The Reddit thread just uses the same tweet we saw a few pages back that was responsible for this rumor.

 

RIP Raymi. A fighting legend. He'll be KO1ing the rest of the ATGs in heaven.

 

Sheesh, this is the most comical thing in boxing in ages atsch
And I don't mean comical funny, just bizarre

Old news, Paul.

 

As a part-time lurker in these forms I personally have no idea if he actually died or not. Maybe others are in my same boat. The only other thread I found asked the same question up to about 3 hours ago, so if anyone has any info I'm sure it would be appreciated by those out of the loop.

 

The rumour is that he died in an ISIS bombing along with 12 others in Yemen.
