Tributes have been paid to young Bristol boxer Jude Moore, who was seen by many as a ‘future world champion’. The 19-year-old, who grew up in the city where he joined the Downend Boxing Gym in Fishponds aged 10, died tragically.
His former coach, Craig Turner from Downed Boxing Club described him as: “An absolute star, he was irreplaceable. Once you met him, you would never forget him.
“He was one of those kids who was forever young and was just not meant to get old. One of my favourite memories was when he was called up as a last-minute replacement to box for England against a boxer from the USA who had been unbeaten in 200 bouts.
