The BBBOC and Queensbury Promotion are actively working to facilitate the arrival of Lamati’s family, as his team had to return home due to visa issues.

Boxing legend and former champion Carl Frampton shared a GoFundMe page on his Twitter. He wrote, “Please help if you can”. It has been set up to support his medical expenses and recovery. He showed his camaraderie for the boxer in this touching gesture while asking fans to support Lamati.
