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.
