I just want people to know that my brother was a great father, a great man, Daniel Olugbemi said. He just wanted to be nothing but a great boxer.

He always looked out for everyone and made sure that everyone was good, Rebecca told the local DC-based station. I just want them to know. And he was just a hard worker. Anything that he wanted, he went after it.

I dont know what justice would look like, honestly, Rebecca said. I dont know if theres anything that could be done that would make it any better.
