Condolences: boxer Scott Brookes
PROMISING South Yorkshire boxer Scott Brookes has died as a result of a road accident.
Scott Brookes, aged 20, from Mexborough, died in Rotherham Hospital after suffering head injuries when he was hit by a taxi in Rowms Lane, Swinton.
The young boxer has a huge South Yorkshire following and is a close friend and stablemate of Sheffield boxer Clinton Woods.
Scott's older brother Stuart, 25, is also a well known boxer.
Scott's promotor Dennis Hobson described Scott as a "lovely lad" and said he was devastated by the news.
"Scott was the more boisterous of the two brothers, a lovely lad, who we rated as a genuine prospect," he said.
"All our thoughts are with his family," said Dennis.
