Tragic news last night young Doncaster Featherweight Tom Bell was shot and killed in a pub around Doncaster , such a talented young lad , had great amateur career and was unbeaten in 6 pro fights , another victim of gun crime such a waste at only 21 .

Can't say I was aware of him but what a tragic waste of a life. 21 is no age, can't imagine what his loved ones are feeling especially to lose him in such a pointless way.

RIP tom

I boxed on The show he made his debut as a young kid, tragic another loss to gun/knife crime in this country

Sad news, RIP

RIP, Absolutely horrific news.

RIP Boxing Brother

I didnt know Tom Bell but such a tragedy.

RIP

Just seen the story, I wasn’t aware of the lad but what a sad waste.

does someone feel like a big man now?

Hate hearing this sort of news. Too young to die, he never really lived at 21.

SO SO Sad.................. RIP

It probably wasn’t...

Real shame and sad reflection on society today when a young mans life is taken so early aged just 21 years.

Having read articles it appears this may well have been a targeted killing and the kid may have had a few conflicts going on in his life .

Having also read tributes from people in our sport ie boxers Josh Warrington , Charlie Edwards, promoter and manager Steve Wood and his trainer Jimmy Harrington it is noticeable he has surrounded himself with good , decent boxing people and could quite easily have had a promising career ahead of him .

RIP young man .

Poor kid, tragic news, I'll sound like my dad but kids are too eager to use weapons these days to sort out their differences

Soared a mate of mine Luke Cope a few times. Was a good prospect. Terribly sad. I heard it’s the fourth or fifth shooting in Donny/Balby area over last few months?
