Former British champion Limond dies aged 45

Former British and Commonwealth super-lightweight champion Willie Limond has died at the age of 45.

The Scotsman had been in hospital after having a suspected seizure while driving.

The Glaswegian won 42 of his 48 professional fights from 1999 to 2023 - including 13 by knockout - although only three bouts took place after 2016.

Limond was originally a footballer, playing five times for Albion Rovers in the late 1990s.

He held the British super-featherweight, super-lightweight and lightweight titles as well as the Commonwealth light-welterweight, WBU lightweight and IBO Inter-Continental lightweight titles.
