Willie Limond: Commonwealth champion boxer critically ill and 'fighting for his life' ahead of comeback fight

Scottish champion boxer Willie Limond is fighting for his life in hospital after a suspected seizure.

The Glaswegian boxer, 45, was set to make a comeback to the sport in a highly-anticipated fight next month. However, Limond was found unresponsive in his car just hours before he was due to take part in a public training session in Glasgow.

According to The Sun, the boxer was found in his car on a residential street on Saturday morning. He has since been transferred to University Hospital Monklands in Airdrie where he remains in a “critical condition”, with police investigating how Limond came to suffer from the suspected seizure.

A spokesman for Police Scotland said: "Around 8.05am on Saturday, 6 April, 2024, police were called to a report of a 45-year-old man found unresponsive within a car in Heatherbell Road, Coatbridge. The man was taken to Monklands Hospital where medical staff describe his condition as critical. Enquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances."
