TRIBUTES have been paid to Scott Brookes, the promising Mexborough boxer who died in hospital after a road accident. He was 20.
In a statement to the media, Scott's family said: "Scott was a gentle giant and was very well known in the Mexborough area. He was a promising boxer and during his career had won two double ABA Championships and has captained the England team in the Four Nations competitions.

"He was a perfect person and we cannot understand why this happened.

"He was much loved and will be sadly missed by all."

Former boxer Mark Brookes, who is no relation to Scott, trained him from the start of his professional career.

He said: "All I can say is that it's a massive loss to the community because he's just an awesome kid."

I would gladly change places with this young man , he had so much to offer .
He was at my house a couple of nights ago , put his arms around me gave me a big hug saying he loved me not seen me for ages .
I asked if he was still seeing Emma , he replied " I love that lass , F****** love her mate . So I want Emma to know just what she meant to him ..
My heart goes out to Scotts family in particular Stuart Scott's older brother . We are all devestated my house was full of Scotts mates all inconsoleable at such a tragic loss ..
