A young man has died after suffering ‘serious injuries’ at a charity boxing match in Nottingham.
He had been taking part in the Ultra White Collar Boxing charity event last Saturday March 25 at the Harvey Hadden Sports Village in Nottingham.
A series of bouts took place from 5:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., but the event was stopped early after the student required emergency medical attention following the first few bouts of his fight.
Paramedics at the event attended to the boxer before he was taken to Queen’s Medical Center where he died.
Police said they are working with the coroner to establish what happened.
