Former British and Commonwealth champion boxer Willie Limond has died at the age of 45, his boxing club has confirmed. His cause of death has not been fully explained yet, but he fell ill last week amid preparations for a fight.
A statement from the Scot's boxing club, the St Andrew's Sporting Club, read: "Everyone at St Andrew's Sporting Club are shocked and deeply saddened at the loss of our friend, Willie Limond. Willie was not only a legend of the sport, but an infectious character who will be greatly missed by us all. Our thoughts and prayers are with Jake, Drew, Macy and the rest of the Limond family at this time.
