Various reports have stated that Samuel Teah, a very solid junior welterweight from Philadelphia was tragically shot and killed on Friday.
Details are not fully collaborated at this time, but it the shooting seemed to have stemmed from a domestic altercation that may have involved the boyfriend of the mother of his child.
Teah, 36 years-old had a record of 19-5-1 with eight knockouts and he had signature wins on ShoBox over current 130-pound world champion O’Shaquie Foster and current WBA number-two ranked 140 lb contender Kenneth Sims Jr.
His manager Sara Fina wrote on her Facebook page, “Say it ain’t so…. my family, my friend. Sam say it ain’t so!!!! You were one of the solid few. You gave me a hard time but I knew the love was real. My pain in my ass. But like that pain you feel after a long work out on the next day. The good pain. The pain of growth. What we gonna do now without you? Your smile was infectious. Who gonna call me sarah feeny? I’m broken.”
