I have spent a lot of time in Las Vegas over the last year and after speaking to those in the boxing industry on the phone and via email over there, the feeling of sorrow and sadness is everywhere.

Chris Eubank Jr who was in Las Vegas during the incident said:
“My heart goes out to all the people killed & injured in the Las Vegas attack last night. I was inside a casino on the strip when someone started shooting in August, I filmed police pursuing the shooter on my snapchat. I just can’t get my head around how these people can commit such mindless acts of terror, they truly are the definition of cowards.”
