02.04.08 Scott Brookes Passes Away.
By Pete "Hitman" Bamforth
Doncasters up and coming cruiserweight Scott Brookes has tragically passed away following a car accident in the early hours of Tuesday April 1st. Brookes was transferred to Rotherham General Hospital where he was placed on a life support machine but sadly passed away hours later.
Brookes was unbeaten in four fights as a professional and was highly regarded in Yorkshire as a top prospect, his brother Stuart is also a professional boxer.
The 21 year old boxer who was a gym mate of Sheffield's IBF Light Heavyweight boxer Clinton Woods was rated the number 11 Cruiserweight in Britain and was seen to have a bright future ahead of him.
Myself and the rest of Team LiveFight offer our deepest sympathy to his family during this difficult period.
