Obituary Thread

[Rosencrantz]

Former British and Commonwealth Bantamweight Champion Nicky Booth has passed away at just 40. A promising young boxer whose career pretty much ended at 24 through a life spiralling out of control due to drug addiction. Now ended due to liver failure as his immune system shut down. A salutary lesson for someone somewhere hopefully of a promising life going wrong.
