Statement from Howard Goldberg:
Ludumo Galada, the World Boxing Foundation Featherweight champion of the world, was not only a champion inside the ring – he was a champion outside the ring. I first met Ludumo Galada when he was due to challenge for the world title and immediately took to this fine young fighter. He had dignity, spirit, intelligence and above all respect. He had respect for everyone he encountered, from his opponents to officials, to his family and to all his friends and supporters. Ludumo Galada endeared himself to everyone, he was a deeply religious and committed human being – a human being of whom everyone was so proud. In the boxing ring, he was one of the WBF’s most outstanding and talented fighters, so much so that the Mexican legend Marco Antonio Barrera was keen to fight Galada in America in May.
