IBF Public Relations Director Jeannette Salazar has advised Fightnews.com® of some bad news. “Sadly, today we were informed of the tragic passing of IBF Judge George Hill from Pennsylvania. There was a fire in his home in the early hours of February 5. Our thoughts and prayers are with George and his family. We don’t have additional information to share at this time, but if we receive anything we will share.”
Rest In Peace and may God comfort your family and loved ones…
a Solid Judge and always a Gentleman
George was my mentor as a young judge and the first female referee in the Mid Alantic Boxing Association back in a day. He had such calming nature and the ability to teach. Always a man of integrity. May you rest in peace George
George was a gentle giant. It was an honor to have made his acquaintance. A quality boxing official and a quality human being.
