Opponent In The Ring
A boxer, who was victorious in beating his opponent
during a fight in the ring, has died after collapsing following the duel.
Popular British boxer, Scott Westgarth has died in hospital after winning an
English title eliminator against Dec Spelman in Doncaster. According to The
Guardian, the 31-year-old light heavyweight collapsed in his dressing room at
The Dome on Saturday following his victory on points over 10 rounds
against Spelman. Stefy Bull, his promoter, said on Twitter: “To promote a
boxing show and a young man doing a job he loves losing his life, I have no
words. RIP lad thoughts go out to your family and your team, it’s been the
hardest few days I’ve had to endure.”
Westgarth suffered a knockdown in the fight but finished
victorious and appeared to be in pain as he took part in post-match interviews.
He then fell ill; leading to the cancellation of the night’s other bouts.
His devastated opponent Spelman paid tribute to Westgarth. He tweeted:
“Absolutely heartbroken and lost for words. I’ll continue to pray for Scott’s
family and the people close to him rest easy my friend.”
Westgarth, who was considered the underdog for the bout
with Spelman, had a record before the fight of six wins, two losses and a draw.
