Promising teenage boxer Ali Tazeem - who has been compared to former world champion Amir Khan - has died in a car accident at the age of 18.
Tazeem, who signed professional terms with promoter Probellum last month, was involved in a fatal accident in Birmingham this weekend. It is understood a car and a bus collided at a junction and three other passengers were taken to hospital with serious injuries.
Probellum's Sam Jones, who previously managed heavyweight contender Joe Joyce, confirmed the news when he tweeted: "This morning I woke up to the news that Ali Tazeem has passed away at the age of 18. I can’t believe it I can’t even process it properly. We only spoke yesterday talking about how he was going to light up the pro game, all I can think about is Ali and his lovely family."
