Man that is sad, he was only recently diagnosed aswell wasn't he. Just goes to show aswell no matter how you live your life you arent immune from anything. Life is unforgiving, people that dont live well, smoke, take drugs a drink excessively can live till their 90's but a young athlete dies in his mid 20's, so wrong.

Unfortunately, it seemed like this was coming. He was diagnosed with stage-4 cancer of the gall bladder a while ago and it didn't seem that his condition was ever improving. He fought with all his heart though and kept his spirits up during that time. It's a real shame he didn't live to see his 26th birthday - a week from today - which he desperately wanted to do. The sport of boxing will be all the worse off for losing such a talent and human being. Rest in peace, Omar.

Awful scenes. I remember when I first saw him post something about it, I think it was after Hector Camacho died, and I almost wrote it off a bit because it seemed too bizarre for him to just come out saying he was dying seemingly out of nowhere. All seems to have happened so quickly since then, mental.
RIP
RIP
Yeah its a right shitter. It' one of the reasons I don't buy into all the live life as healthy as you can BS that goes around. Whilst you might add to the percentage of the chance you get it, I just think its a lottery as you see too many healthy people die from it and people who don't look after themselves at all never get nothing. Life just has things in store that you can't control so its best to just enjoy yourself and not worry about it.

Yeah I remember this. He had a fight scheduled, pulled out because he thought he had gallstones and a couple of months later he's gone. Shocking. RIP.

This is unbelievable. I don't have words for this. I'm in bad shape this morning. Omar and I were friends, and we trained together. I remember things that were just between the guys or lads as it were. Things happened and I stopped going to the gym after a while and we lost touch. Too bad on my part, cause I liked him. Came in and really wanted to be great, didn't play in the gym while having fun at the same time. All these times from back then I'm thinking about. When I say "back then" I'm talkin '03 '04 great times. Wish I could go back to those days, especially today and from here on. Got people in your life make sure to tell you love them, cause God might call them home...

yeah man. it all happened so fast. apparently, he had to pull out of his fight on showtime because of gall stones. upon examination, it turns out he has stage 4 pancreatic cancer. with everything I've read about it is all but a death sentence. too sad...
