BOXING Hero Willie Limond Fighting for His Life After Suspected Seizure

Boxing fans around the world are sending their thoughts and prayers to Scottish boxing hero Willie Limond as he fights for his life in the hospital after suffering a suspected seizure in his car. The 45-year-old, who was set to return to the ring next month after coming out of retirement, was found unresponsive in his car on a residential street in Coatbridge on Saturday morning.

Limond was rushed to University Hospital Monklands in Airdrie where he remains in critical condition. The news came just hours before he was scheduled to take part in a public training session at Glasgow’s St Enoch Centre. Despite his absence, the training session went ahead with other boxers from the undercard.

The ex-Commonwealth super featherweight and lightweight champion was due to face Geordie Joe Laws at the city’s Emirates Arena on May 3. Fans and fellow boxers have shown their support for Limond online, with many expressing their shock and sending well wishes for his recovery.

Limond, who previously spoke about making positive changes to his diet and lifestyle after a defeat last year, has been described as a beloved figure in the Scottish boxing community. His sons, Jake and Drew, who are also boxers, are said to be receiving support from their father’s ring pals during this difficult time.

Police Scotland are currently investigating the circumstances surrounding Limond’s medical emergency. As the boxing world waits for updates on his condition, the outpouring of support for the fighter continues to grow. Our thoughts are with Willie Limond and his family during this challenging time.
