Ismaïl Abdoul and Meriton Karxha, as well as other well-known faces from the boxing world, were present at the ceremony. It was an emotional farewell, in which Van Eesvelde was honored for who he was and what he meant to many young boxers, but also to many other friends and to his family.
Van Eesvelde converted to Islam years ago and received an Islamic farewell in Al Markaz Attarbawi, a mosque in the Elyzeese Velden. For the occasion, anyone who wanted could follow the death prayer together. The group then moved to Zwijnaarde, where Van Eesvelde was buried.
