WILLIE LIMOND, the former British and Commonwealth super-lightweight champion, tragically passed away on Monday (April 15) at the age of 45.
Limond, from Glasgow, had been preparing for a fight against Joe Laws on May 3 when, while driving, he suffered a suspected seizure in his car. Found unresponsive in the vehicle on April 6, he was subsequently taken to Monklands Hospital in Airdrie, North Lanarkshire, where he remained in a comatose state.
Sadly, Limond, one of the Britain’s toughest boxers, never woke up.
