Scottish boxer Mike Towell has died in hospital after being seriously injured in a bout on Thursday.
The 25-year-old, from Dundee, was rushed to hospital after a fifth-round loss to Welsh fighter Dale Evans in a St Andrew’s Sporting Club fight at Glasgow’s Radisson Blu Hotel.
Towell’s partner, Chloe Ross, said he “fought right to the end”.
He is only the third professional boxer to die in the UK from apparently fight-related injuries in the past 21 years.
His management said he passed away with his family at his bedside.
St Andrews Sporting Club confirmed Towell’s death in a tweet on Saturday morning.
“Within the last hour Mike Towell passed away – he will always be in our hearts #RIPIronMike,” it said.
