Tyson Fury's cousin 'stabbed' to death in incident outside Manchester bar

Tyson Fury's cousin was stabbed to death outside a Manchester bar in the early hours of Sunday morning with the boxer calling on government to introduce stronger punishments for knife crime.

Rico Burton, 31, was one of two men allegedly stabbed in the incident which took place at 3am, with a second person, 17, taken to hospital with serious injuries. The heavyweight champion said on social media "RIP Rico Burton" and compared knife crime to a "pandemic", adding, "you don't know how bad it is until it's one of your own".

Two men - aged 20 and 21 - were arrested on suspicion of murder.
