Mike Towell, who was 25, had to be carried from the ring on a stretcher after a fifth-round loss to Dale Evans in Glasgow on Thursday. Towell had been undefeated going into the fight – an eliminator for the British welterweight title – with 11 wins and one draw on his professional record. Towell’s partner, Chloe Ross, said she was ”absolutely heartbroken” to announce that he died Friday night, 12 hours after he was taken off life support.
