Boxer Darren Sutherland, Olympic Bronze Medalist, Has Died Apparently

Hopefully its not true, the comments on that site are all roughly 4pm, surely it would be on a few news websites by now if it was true, again here’s hoping its not.

[quote=“The Dunph”]I’m not going to say much about this until it is reported officially.

For fuck sake, wikipedia doesn’t even have it yet.[/quote]

They did report it - said he was found by his trainer. It has since been removed.

Also if those guys were reporting it on that boxing forum at 4pm today then surely it should be reported in the main media by now?

East Side Boxing is New York Time so it’s been reported since around 8pm our time.

That’s a different story then.

Looks like it is true. Terribly, terribly sad.

Your a total and utter scumbag, end of.
You wouldn’t be boo hooing if it was a friend or a member of your family.

Terrible berrible news, a very likeable guy. Maybe he put too much pressure on himself, who knows. This will hurt every Irish boxer badly.

A fucking shame altogether, RIP

Confirmed on Sky Sports News now.

No shit you dumb fuck. Thanks for pointing out the obvious.

His Wikipedia page (I know, dubious but…) is reporting he was found hanged at his apartment in Bromley, London. RIP

Kev the hypocrite. That is all

Now that it’s been confirmed, RIP Darren Sutherland. This is very, very tragic. A real shame.

Christ almighty-that’s some shock.

Looked to have buckets of potential and an Olympic bronze medal was no mean feat.
RIP.

A drugged up yank. I still don’t give a fuck, this is an honourable Irish man, you should remember where you live. Have some respect now, don’t let this thread turn into one of your idiotic fuck ups.

Bit unnecessary to point score though Flano, no?

Bandage, on the thread title, wasn’t Sutherland an Olympic bronze medalist?

You are an utter scumbag. A bigoted scumbag at that.

How about you both stfu perhaps?

Darren Sutherland found dead

Irish Olympic medal-winning boxer Darren Sutherland was found dead at home today by his manager.

The 27-year-old, who won bronze for Ireland at the 2008 Games in Beijing, was found hanged in his flat in Bromley, south London, by Frank Maloney.

In a statement, the boxing promoter said: 'It is very sad and unexpected.

'At this sad time my thoughts are with Darren’s family and I hope their privacy at this very difficult time will be respected by the media.

‘It is a tragedy for Ireland and the world of boxing.’

A Metropolitan Police spokesman said Sutherland was pronounced dead at just after 3pm. His death is not being treated as suspicious. His family have been informed.

The fighter made his professional debut in Dublin last December, winning by a knockout.

Sutherland won a bronze medal for Ireland in the middleweight division at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
