Very sad news. Saw a few of his pro fights and he was shaping up well. He used to post a bit on the boxrec forum too, and always came across as a dedicated, decent fella. RIP

Met him a few years ago, seemed like a really nice guy and was trying to get back into education and keep training at the same time. Sorry to hear this.

George Hook just played some audio from an interview with Sutherland, almost immediately after his medal win. It had his mam and dad on the phone to him too. Almost has me in tears.

He played that twice and it was on earlier in the day too.

Yeah, I had to switch it off when he started playing it again. Blubbing on the bus isn't a good look.
