A Fife boxing club has paid tribute after the tragic death of one of its star boxers.
Glenrothes Boxing Club said Connor Law “was one of the most talented up and coming boxers with a bright future ahead of him.”
The three-time national champion from Kelty was only 26.
He had recently tweeted thanks to friends who had helped him through “a tough time”.
Very grateful to have the mates I have, going through a tough time and they’ve reached out to check for me! Can’t thank them enough??
