He died at the Royal Hallamshire Hospital last night, prompting tributes from boxing legends including Frank Bruno, Ricky Hatton, as well as British fighter James DeGale and promoter Eddie Hearn.

And he added: ‘He’s a good fighter and I can see why he was 11-0. But at the end of the day I wanted it just as much as he wanted it and ultimately I box away all the time.
