Pertti Augustin has died 

Pertti Augustin, The Pride of Finland and The Joy of the World Boxing Council, has died in hospital in Helsinki.

Pertti was a so valued and invaluable stalwart of the Finnish Boxing Federation, the EBU and the WBC. His selfless service to Boxing encompassed more than half a century.  As a Supervisor he meticulously oversaw one hundred and fifty nine boxing matches spanning 1988-2020.  A leader, an expert on Ratings, Executive Director and most importantly a colleague, how proud we are he was our friend.

His colleague and friend Jussi Niemonen summed one key element of a varied and so well lived life by saying: “Pertti loved and appreciated Boxing with all of his being.”

Dear Friend, Thank You for all you strived for, achieved and accomplished during  your fifty years plus of service to the Sport we so love. Thank You for passing our way and taking the time to share yourself with us and being such marvelous company in Conventions.   We will ALWAYS remember you with gratitude and love.

World Boxing Council President Mauricio Sulaiman and the entire WBC Family spanning one hundred and seventy nations, send our deepest condolences to Pertti`s Family and friends.

Rest in Peace Pertti.
