URGENT FUNERAL SUPPORT APPEAL 🕊️
🥊 IN MEMORY OF ROMEO KATOMPA — “THE KING OF TKO BOLOLO”
With heavy hearts, we are reaching out to the boxing community, friends, family, promoters, sponsors, and everyone who knew and loved our brother Romeo Katompa.
Romeo has sadly left behind his beloved wife and two young daughters, aged just 6 years old and 2 years old. They are now facing this heartbreaking loss without their father.
At this very difficult time, the family is facing urgent funeral expenses, and we are humbly appealing for support to help give Romeo the dignified farewell he deserves and to stand together with his family.
🙏 Any contribution, big or small, will be deeply appreciated. Your prayers, kindness, and support will mean so much to his wife, his two little daughters, and the entire family.
🥊 The boxing family must stand together.
🤝 Let us come together for Romeo and his family.
🕊️ Let us honour his life, his legacy, and his memory with dignity and love.
Rest in Peace, Romeo Katompa.
Your daughters will carry your memory forever. 🕊️🥊
