Willie Limond, 45, dies after ex-boxing champion suffers a seizure while driving ahead of taking part in a public training session in Glasgow

Former boxing champion Willie Limond has died at the age of 45 after being initially found unresponsive in his car following a seizure.

Earlier this month, Limond was discovered in his vehicle just hours before he set to partake in a public training session in Glasgow.

And in the early hours of this Monday morning it was confirmed that he passed away.

Taking to social media, his son Jake wrote: 'Dad passed away in the early hours of the morning.

'He fought on for near enough 10 days. Warrior,' he added on Instagram.

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

The Glaswegian 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 during his boxing career.
