British boxer, Scott Westgarth,
has died following ill-health after a heavyweight bout on Saturday.
It was gathered that Westgarth
looked uncomfortable as he was interviewed ringside after his points victory
over Dec Spelman in Doncaster and was taken to hospital, having deteriorated
backstage.
The 31-year-old who had been
chasing an English title fight died in Royal Hallamshire Hospital.
Westgarth ‘s previous record was
six wins, two losses and a draw.
Stefy Bull, Westgarth’s promoter,
who confimed the incident, wrote on social media on Monday “God bless Scott
Westgarth. To promote a boxing show and a young man doing a job he loves losing
his life, I have no words.”
Spelman also reacted to the news,
saying “absolutely heartbroken and lost for words: all continue to pray for
Scott’s family and the people close to him: rest easy my friend.”
