The 22-year-old lost his life almost after a cardiac arrest in the fourth round, without any fierce attack on him by the opponent. It is still unknown the reason of why the Bulgarian staff and coach Boris Stancov rescued competing with false documents of a professional boxer cousin. Asked by Bulgarian media himself Velickov, who was reported to have lost his life at the first moment, he said: “He had been carrying my ID card since 2018, he told me there was no problem because the coach knew it."
What is even more surprising is the fact that the two boxers do not have any resemblance to each other, in addition, to participate in such a professional boxing activity, are needed three key documents and a professional boxer license, must have authorization of the federation permission and medical record. It is not known whether all of these documents were correct or forged that were presented to the organizers who later allowed him to participate in the event.
Everything about false identity seems to have been revealed by a facebook status of Jesus Velickov where he addresses with a touching message to his dead cousin: "Rest in peace champion, you will always be in our hearts."
Meanwhile, the Board of Directors of the Bulgarian Professional Boxing Union has begun a several-hour meeting Monday afternoon to further highlight the event.
