    Darren Sutherland Dead?!

    It doesn't feel right posting this, but I have a couple of friends involved in boxing and both of them have texted me saying Darren Sutherland has died from a training related injury.

    Has anyone else heard this?

    They are saying the same on boards, I hope its a wind up. Far too young to die.

    It seems to have originated from a boxing forum called boxrec, where Darren himself occasionally posts.

    The user that first posted the news only had 10 posts or so, making his credibility questionable.

    Hopefully he is just an immature fool who started an awful hoax, if not it's a very very sad day for Ireland and Irish boxing.

    My understanding is that there is something to this story.

    Unfortunately some very reliable posters from within the boxing industry have confirmed it's true on forums. His family do not want it realised by the media yet.

    I'm still hoping this is an elaborate hoax, although I'm 90% certain now it's not

    apparently he hung himself - not sure how true that is so mods can remove if they think i shouldnt have posted it.

    I've read a couple of reliable boxing forums, and the story would appear to be true.
    terrible sad news for his family in particular, but also for the wider sporting public in ireland.
    he was a hero for his exploits in beijing and the joy he brought us all at the olympics will always be remembered...
    RIP

    RIP. Terrible news. He always came across like such a lovely, humble lad. Had his heart set on becoming Ireland's first black World Champion.
