The 25-year-old Dundee fighter was stretchered from the ring following a fifth-round loss to Welshman Dale Evans in a St Andrews Sporting Club fight at a Glasgow hotel on Thursday.

He was taken by ambulance to the city’s Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, but in the early hours of Saturday morning his management team said he had died with his family at his bedside.
