Female boxer Hannah Rapp has tragically been killed in an accident at 26 years old. She was killed in an accident in Texas, after police say a road rage driver deliberately backed his vehicle into her while she was riding her bicycle.
According to the Brazos County Sheriff's Office, Rapp was killed after driver Charles Medina passed her on the road, before stopping his vehicle and intentionally reversing, striking the female boxer. She died from injuries suffered in the accident.
The driver was ultimately arrested and charged with manslaughter.
Jake Paul was among those to pay tribute to Rapp on social media in the wake of her devastating passing.
Rapp, an Indiana native, ran track at Purdue University before moving to College Station, where she pursued a professional boxing career. She also worked full-time as a fire and life safety inspector at Texas A&M University.
Tiara Brown, who defeated Rapp in a fight earlier this summer, paid tribute to the boxer on social media.
