Boxer Mike Towell's fatal fight 'should never have taken place'

A Dundee boxer died following a fight that"should never have taken place", a fatal accident inquiry has concluded.

It said the boxing governing body's rules were vulnerable to the concealing of relevant information by fighters. The notes showed that Mr Towell had said in the examinations that he had not suffered from headaches, blackouts or fits.The BBBC should send a copy of each boxer's latest medical examination form to their GP

"It is hard not to conclude that the very drive and commitment to boxing which Mr Towell demonstrated in his ascent to a final eliminator contest for the British welterweight championship in only his thirteenth professional fight is what led to his untimely death."He said:"Had Mr Towell been open and honest with the doctors who carried out his annual BBBC medical examinations, it is highly likely that he would not have been licensed to box from at least 2014 onwards.
