    On the back of this tragic news I'd just please advise anyone feeling low to reach out for help.... It doesn't make you weak, it means you are strong

    I remember years ago I was with Marvin Hagler several nights and he was actually a very vulnerable person with feelings. People thought he was a superman but that's just a role I play, he told me. He started crying when he told me he felt like he had never received true love from another person.

    Sports people are vulnerable people.

    Sports people are exactly that, People. They have the same emotions we all do.

    Where's the confirmation that it was suicide?

    No genuinely. I've googled the death but can't find a cause of death

    How the fcuk is it morbid? Every news source says a body was found and the police aren't treating it as suspicious. There's no mention of suicide. Could well be a heart attack going by the information released

    True. My mum is a therapist, has patients of all backgrounds including manly men. No shame at all in seeking help.

    Because the media follow responsible guidelines in such circumstances. Give https://www.papyrus-uk.org/suicide-and-the-media/ a read and you'll understand. The allusion of "mental health" from friends likely says all we need to know.

    Nice thread @tdf1974 - I agree completely. It isn't easy to spot warning signs, but if you see them, don't be afraid to seek support.

    Not the biggest fan of Paddy Pimblett, but I absolutely love this post-fight interview. I thought about this as soon as I heard about poor Ricky Hatton.
