A boxer found dismembered in a river just hours after his first professional fight

Published

on

Just hours after losing his first professional fight, the juvenile boxer was found dismembered in a river. The remains of Yeiner Andres Gomez Sandoval, 28, were found in the river by fishermen and later identified by his mother based on his distinctive tattoos. A search is ongoing in the area as some of his body parts have not yet been found.

Yeiner lost his only professional fight to Leider Galvis in the main event of the WBA Future Champions Colombia at the Cuadrilatero gym in Barranquilla. He lost by unanimous points decision, his only loss from a total of seven fights. Five of his wins were by knockout.

He spent time with the mother and daughter after the fight and was last seen leaving his home in the Carrizal neighborhood of Barranquilla on Sunday afternoon, Mother’s Day in Colombia.

He was reported missing shortly thereafter, his family was unable to contact him, and his phone was turned off.

Yeiner’s remains were discovered the following afternoon in the Magdalena River, just outside the city of Barranquilla, Colombia.

His mother then identified him by a snake tattoo on his torso, a dragon’s head on his shoulder, his brother’s name on his neck, and a heart on his chest.

Coach Miguel Angel Guzman told Colombian media that he had no knowledge of any threats or personal problems that could explain his death.

Yeiner was viewed as an emerging prospect in his home country and was expected to have a promising career after turning professional.

Investigators are currently reconstructing his last movements and determining the cause of death. For now, they are unable to give him a proper burial because the rest of his remains have not yet been discovered.

His friends and family are calling for justice, although authorities have not yet presented any official hypotheses regarding the murder.

Keyshawn Davis returns to action in Saturday’s rematch with Nahir Albright.

Davis (14-0, 10 KO) will face Albright (17-2-1, 7 KO) in a super lightweight fight at the Scope Arena in Norfolk.

“The Businessman” defeated his compatriot in 2023 by majority decision, but the result was overturned after he tested positive for marijuana.

Bad feelings between the pair subsided last June when Albright defeated his brother Kelvin by majority vote.

After the fight, the 27-year-old got into a fight with Albright backstage.
