The World Boxing Council joins with our Lightweight World Champion, Eliza Olson and her family, in mourning the passing of Eliza's brother, Mark David Olson. At forty years of age, Mark died of a sudden heart attack while in Tennessee. We know that the value of a life can not be measured in chronological years, but Mark's time on earth was way too short.
We wish the Olson's healing and support during this tragic time.
Respectfully,
Jose Sulaiman and The WBC
