Boxing trainer Brendan Ingle has died at the age of 77.
A former professional boxer himself with a record of 19-14, Dublin-born Ingle went on to train four world champions, including Johnny Nelson and Naseem Hamed.
He passed away in his sleep early this morning, at Royal Hallamshire hospital.
“On this one occasion I am using social media to inform people a good, good man has left this earth today,” Nelson wrote on Instagram on Friday.
“A good friend. A good father figure. And the best trainer in the world.”
