“It was a model that inspired!”

Although the news was, practically, expected, taking into account the serious health problems of Leu, he hardly spoke about his former teammate from the national boxing group of Romania: “I cannot reconcile with the idea that Mihai left …”.

Vasile Cîtea, after the disappearance of Mihai Leu: “He offered and imposed respect!”

“For me, the extraordinary successes as a sportsman of Mihai, who was the first world boxing champion for professionals after 1989 Romania and car champion, are in second place, on the foreground being his special human qualities.

He was a great fighter, a model who inspired, attracted a lot of children to sports. He was a convinced family member, a man who does not remember ever arguing with someone who offered and imposed respect to everyone, who succeeded in all areas in which he became involved“Vasile added.

Big Boxing Names will be present at the funeral

The president of the Romanian Boxing Federation said he was waiting for the family's announcement related to the organization of the funeral ceremony: “He will be buried at home, in Deva, from what I understood. All the breath of the Romanian box I think will be present.

I received a lot of phones, since last night, when the terrible news appeared. We are waiting for the family announcement about the date of the funeral ceremony, to know how to organize ourselves ”.

How much was Mihai Leu's first co -pilot!

Recently, he had told an episode of Leo's passion for car: “When Mihai turned 18, his father, who was a rally pilot, gave him a gift to Oltcit.

Terrible, although neither I nor he had a book, got in the car and gave a few laps, on some coils. Okay, at that time there were few cars on the streets, the risks not very high. I can say that I was Mihai's first co -pilot, who since then said that after leaving the box will be a pilot”.
