Hannah Rapp, a 26-year-old boxer who challenged for the WBC women's featherweight championship in June, died after being struck by a car while riding her bicycle in Brazos County, Texas. The incident occurred when a car, driven by 31-year-old Charles Medina, abruptly reversed into her. She succumbed to her injuries in a local hospital. Medina has been arrested and charged with manslaughter. WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman expressed profound sadness over Rapp's passing, highlighting her exceptional talent and the impact she had on the boxing community. Originally from Yorktown, Indiana, Rapp transitioned from track athletics at Purdue to boxing, turning pro in 2024 while working as a fire and life safety inspector at Texas A&M. #tribute #accident #boxing #sports #manslaughter #HannahRapp #boxingcommunity #tragedy #featherweight #WBC https://youtu.be/luYPRk_B9ak?si=t57qJakFJZmdNAdv
