Scottish boxer Mike Towell has died in hospital after suffering serious injuries during a bout on Thursday night.
The 25-year-old suffered a fifth-round loss to Dale Evans, from Carmarthenshire, in a St Andrews Sporting Club fight at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Glasgow, after which he was rushed to Queen Elizabeth University Hospital.
Towell, from Dundee, had been undefeated going into the British welterweight title eliminator, with 11 previous wins and one draw on his professional record.
His management said on Friday he had passed away with his family at his bedside.
After the fight, opponent Evans described Towell as a "true warrior".
Leading doctor Dr Otmar Kloiber said studies show boxing produces 'serious harm' including ruptures in the brain.
