A £20,000 JustGiving target for the family of boxer Mike Towell, who died on Friday from head injuries, has been reached in a matter of hours.
Towell died in hospital after suffering swelling to the brain during a bout in Glasgow on Thursday night.
The appeal, set up by former boxer Ricky Hatton on Saturday, will raise money for Towell's partner and young son.
Tributes from around the boxing world have been paid to Mike Towell who died after suffering serious injuries during a bout.
The 25-year-old, dubbed "Iron Mike", passed away just a day after his fifth-round loss to Dale Evans at a St Andrews Sporting Club fight in Glasgow on Thursday.
St Andrews Sporting Club said Towell "will always be in our hearts".
Meanwhile, boxing promoter Eddie Hearn tweeted that he was "absolutely devastated" by Towell's death.
Former European champion Spencer Oliver also took to Twitter, writing: "So saddened to hear of the devastating news that Mike Towell has passed away, my thoughts & prayers are with his family & friends. #RIP x."
Leading doctor Dr Otmar Kloiber said studies show boxing produces 'serious harm' including ruptures in the brain.
The 25-year-old was rushed to Queen Elizabeth University Hospital after being stretchered from the ring during a British title eliminator.
