Very saddened. Cut from the same cloth as Harry Mullan, which is the best compliment I can imagine

R.I.P. Still stunned at this news. We were only discussing the current issue of Boxing Monthly on the phone a matter of days ago. Totally unexpected and out of the blue. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

I've not seen a concrete link mate, but it's all over Twitter - Jamie Moore, Paul Smith, Cleverly, Bellew, Matchroom, allegedly, McGuigan have all tweeted condolences in the last 20 mins or so.

I understand it was a heart attack but that's not from a direct source. Glyn's contribution to our sport was absolutely huge. It's the end of an era this.
