Westgarth looked uncomfortable as he was
interviewed ringside after his points victory over Dec Spelman
in Doncaster and was taken to hospital having deteriorated
backstage.
The 31-year-old, who had been chasing an English title fight,
died in Royal Hallamshire Hospital.
"God bless Scott Westgarth. To promote a boxing show and a young
man doing a job he loves losing his life, I have no words,"
Stefy Bull, Westgarth's promoter, wrote on social media on
Monday.
Spelman also reacted to the news.
"Absolutely heartbroken and lost for words, all continue to pray
for Scott's family and the people close to him rest easy my
friend," he said on Twitter.
