Scottish professional boxer Mike Towell has died in the hospital following his fight with Welshman Dale Evans who knocked him unconscious in the fifth round of their bout in Glasgow, Scotland on Thursday night. The 25-year-old Towell, who had a professional record of 12 wins and just one draw, was competing in his 14th professional boxing match, which saw him losing for the first time. Towell had to be stretchered from the rink and hospitalized following the knockout at St Andrews Sporting Club in Glasgow. After the fight, Towell’s opponent Dale Evans expressed his support on Twitter saying: “All of my thoughts & prayers are with Mike, family & friends right now. Celebrations can be put on hold for tonight until we hear more.” It is reported that Towell suffered severe bleeding and swelling to the brain which caused his death following a one-day stay in the local hospital. His longtime girlfriend Chloe Ross, who is also the mother of his son Rocco, took to Facebook to express her feelings: “Im absolutely heartbroken to say my annoying best friend passed away tonight at 11.02 very peacefully,”
