Awful news.
Heartbreaking news from the world of boxing as Genadij Krajevskij has died at the age of 37.
Known as the Baltic Bomber, Krajevskij from Lithuania, was a journeyman with just one win to his name and a number of losses.
Tommy Fury fought against Krajevskij back in 2020 winning via a second-round KO.
The British Boxing Board of Control’s Midlands Area Council expressed their sorrow over Krajevskij’s death, writing: “We would like to pass our condolences and thoughts to Genadij Krakevskij’s family and friends at this time.
“The Baltic Bomber graced the away corner in the UK Midlands area on numerous occasions. He was always a delight to be around in and out of the ring.”
VIPBoxing Promotions added that they received the news of his death with ‘deep sorrow’, adding: “We had the honour of featuring him in the VIP Shows on multiple occasions.”
The Baltic Bomber’s one victory in the ring came against Ryan Broten and VIP Shows tweeted a video of his reaction to the win.
They wrote: “We had the honour of featuring him in the VIP Shows on multiple occasions. Our videographer, Lee Hogan, was fortunate enough to capture his sole professional victory during his 68th fight on a Frank Duffin show.
“This moment was incredibly significant for him, as he conveyed the message ‘Never give up’ to the camera. Rest in peace, Baltic Bomber.”
