Former British and Commonwealth boxing champion Willie Limond passed away at the age of 45, as confirmed by his son Jake on Monday. Limond had an illustrious career, holding titles such as the lightweight Commonwealth title between 2006-07, the super-lightweight title from 2013-14, and the British super-lightweight belt in 2014.
Despite being in his forties, Limond was still actively boxing and was scheduled to face Joe Laws on May 3. His last fight took place in September 2023, where he suffered a defeat by eighth-round stoppage to fellow Scot Ricky Burns.
