Scottish boxer Towell dies after bout
LONDON: Scottish boxer Mike Towell has died in hospital after being seriously hurt in a fight, his management company confirmed on Saturday.
The 25-year-old Dundee fighter was stretchered from the ring following a fifth-round loss to Welshman Dale Evans in a St Andrews Sporting Club fight at a Glasgow hotel on Thursday.
He was taken by ambulance to the city’s Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, but in the early hours of Saturday morning, his management team said he had died with his family at his bedside.
Towell was knocked down twice in the fight before referee Victor Loughlin stopped the bout in the fifth round.
Towell had been unbeaten prior to the fight, a British welterweight title eliminator, with 11 wins and one draw on his professional record.
