JAKARTA The talented boxer Donovan Garcia is reported to have died at the age of 15 years. He breathed his last after a tragic accident.

The family of the rising star from Colorado reported that Donovan, who was injured after the accident, was hospitalized before being pronounced dead.

The Sun reported that Donovan was involved in an accident on January 11. The incident left the young boxer struggling to survive in hospital with a severe brain injury.

However, unfortunately he died six days later on January 17 after his health condition deteriorated and worsened.

"Donovan fought in his biggest fight and went through seven rounds. However, he was exhausted," the Donovan family said in a statement as quoted by The Sun.

"The family wants everyone to know that he is calm and they are also calm with God's will," the statement added.

After the boxer died, Rosmina's cousin immediately raised aid for the family left behind through the GoFundMe charity platform. A total of more than 4,000 pounds has also been donated.

"Thank you everyone for the prayers, support, and love that continues to flow. Donovan's memories and legacy will continue to live forever," the family continued statement.

"Donovan is loved by the boxing community and more. Boxing is his favorite and he won many championships," they added.

Donovan won several awards in his amateur boxing career. Among them are the 2019 Golden Hand hands, the Silver Gloves State Champion, and the Junior Olympics State Champion.

"My deepest condolences for your loss. The 15-year-old is too young to leave. My heart is with your family," wrote a message of support from fans on the charity page made by Rosmina.
