A star fighter and former Australian boxing champion tragically died at the young age of 36 after suffering a horrific fall accident during skydiving. Despite being a veteran with over 100 dives to his name, he was caught in sudden turbulence and lost his life, plunging the sports world into shock and grief.

The British media outlet “The Sun” reported on the 7th (Korea time), “Former Australian boxing champion Josh Frederiksen tragically died at the age of 36 due to a skydiving accident,” adding, “Following the shocking news of his death, tributes from fans and acquaintances around the world have poured in.”

The accident occurred at Skydive Ramblers near Toogoolawarra, Brisbane, Australia. Frederiksen had attempted a routine jump as usual but encountered severe turbulence in mid-air. According to local media reports, although the parachute deployed normally, rough weather and serious meteorological conditions led to a hard impact with the ground upon landing.

As a result of the accident, former champion Frederiksen sustained fatal injuries to his chest, pelvis, and abdomen. He was immediately airlifted to Royal Brisbane Women’s Hospital for emergency treatment and received intensive care, but ultimately passed away overnight. The tragedy left even greater sorrow given that he was an experienced skydiver who had completed more than 100 dives.

The Australian Parachute Federation issued an official statement confirming the death of the late individual, saying, “We are deeply saddened to have lost one of our members in a landing accident. We extend our sincere condolences to his family, friends, and the skydiving community.” The statement added, “Skydiving involves inherent risks, and while we continuously strive to mitigate these risks, it is impossible to eliminate accidents entirely.”

A wave of mourning continues over the untimely death of the star who had fought 20 times on the professional circuit, recording a record of 13 wins, 2 draws, and 5 losses, while also securing the Australian championship title. Nick Mizzley, who was close friends with the late individual, said, “The world lost a very special person last night in a tragic skydiving accident. I have never seen anyone speak ill of Frederiksen; he was like a brother to me. My heart is completely broken.”
