    Just read this on Eddie Hearn'ss twitter. Doesnt say how, was he ill ? Very sad news for someone so young to die at no age at all.

    Edit:
    Just read a comment saying time to ban motorcycles , so I presume motorbike crash? Very sad indeed life can be cruel at times.

    Yeah seems to have been a motorcycle accident in Dagenham.

    Left behind a young family as well apparently, very sad.

    RIP Vinny Mitchell.

    And if he died from a car crash would that idiot say it's time to ban cars?

    RIP Vinny. A lot of my family and friends know him very well and everyone is devastated by the news. My cousins who trained in the same gym as both Kevin and Vinny seems to think when they were both younger Vinny actually had a lot more talent than Kevin which is a shame.

    Can't understand why people would drive motorbikes, absolute death traps.

    Terrible news. RIP Vinny. My heart goes out to the family. I am sure Darren Barker who has been through this will be a real source of strength to Kevin in the coming weeks and months ahead.
