What happened to Rico Burton?

The exact reason behind Mr. Rico Burton’s fatal injuries is still unknown.

His passing occurs in the midst of a wave of knife and gun violence that has largely targeted London in the UK.

Four males were stabbed in Brixton only last night. On the basis of possible attempted murder, seven persons have been arrested.

Steve Egan expressed his grief,

Former Rico and Fury coach Steve Egan expressed his “devastation” after learning of the incident.

A coach at Jimmy Egan Boxing Academy in Manchester, the 60-year-old stated Rico had competed there as a youth and had boxed there until he was 19 years old.

He quit the gym to pursue a job in construction and roofing.

Rico is a nice young man, and I taught him, Steve told The Sun. I’m in shock. “I feel like crying. Since he was 13 years old, I’ve known him and his brother. He was amazing. What a gift.

He put forth a lot of effort at work and in the ring. He was always a grafter. He was a great guy; I used to refer to him as our Billy Joe Saunders because of how skilled a boxer he was.

There “wasn’t a bad bone” in Rico, he claimed. He wasn’t that kind of kid, the man remarked. “I could never imagine him getting in problems with anyone, or causing trouble.”

“I’m heartbroken beyond belief. It’s a game for cowards. “It’s plain stupid if you carry a knife; you should get five years just for keeping it in your pocket.

“His mother is going to be devastated; it’s going to finish her off.

He usually had a smile on his face because he knew how well he boxed. He adores his mother, brother, and cousin.

Rico “has always admired” Fury, according to Steve. He considered Tyson to be a hero and aspired to be like him “said he. “He was good friends with Tyson, and they would spar together.”

Eddie Nevins, a family friend, described him as a “funny man and a good fighter, one we looked up to as youngsters.”

Bar employees who saw the incident are “shocked and horrified,” while nearby resident Michael Edwards told The Sun: “It’s extremely frightening when anything like this happens.

It’s horrible that so many individuals these days are carrying knives.

As fighting broke out on a London street, FOUR men were stabbed during the course of the night. Seven people have been detained on suspicion of attempted murder.

Around 6.20 p.m., police and paramedics hurried to Josephine Avenue in Brixton in response to reports of a massive street brawl.

Tyson Fury’s message

After promising to come out of retirement and challenge Oleksandr Usyk in a thrilling world title battle, Fury posted the heartfelt message just hours later.

Last night in Saudi Arabia, the Ukrainian defeated Anthony Joshua and successfully defended his titles.

Usyk, 35, asserted that his next step was to become the Gypsy King or retire.

Fury, 34, revealed this morning that he is willing to return to the ring to reclaim his heavyweight titles.

In a since-deleted Instagram post, he wrote:

“I just witnessed Joshua lose to Usyk for the second time; he was out of his element.

“However, England no longer needs to tighten its belts. Yet again, as usual.

“There is a remedy and a solution that I can suggest. If you want those belts back then send in the Gypsy barbarian of England. Come on!

“Send me in. I will relieve the Ukrainian dosser of his belts like I did the last Ukrainian dosser. “But its not gonna be cheap. If you want the best you’ve got to pay, it’s gonna be very expensive. “So get your f***ing chequebook out and I will relieve that Ukrainian dosser.”

He earlier stated that it would take £500,000,000 to get him to fight again, but he claimed that, the night following the fight in Jeddah, he would defeat both Usyk and AJ.

He fumed: “After viewing that, the both of them were s***e.” He had been watching TV with his family and friends while on vacation in Menorca. One of the worst heavyweight championship matches I’ve ever witnessed.

“It was bulls***. Come on!”

Born in Manchester, Fury hails from a large family. Six of his own children are his and his wife Paris’s, a 31-year-old. Although the boxer also has a property in Vegas, they reside in Lancashire.

Roman, his younger brother, became the ninth professional boxer in his family in December 2020.

The champion’s sister had been working out with the Gypsy King throughout lockdown despite having no amateur experience.
