The world has lost a world champion in the making. You were just like your Dad hands made of stone, I boxed with your Dad on a trip to the UK , he predicted he would knock the guy out in the second round and he did! My thoughts and prayers are with the family Love Steve Dawson

Watched a few of his amateur fights and I thought he was a class act. It’s absolutely heartbreaking. Such a young lad. Rest in peace champ. Condolences to his family friends and all who knew him in boxing.
