Our thoughts are with all his loved ones
Heartfelt tributes have poured in for a "true gentleman" who trained Jawaid Khaliq, who was crowned the first British Asian boxing world champion. Ken Bolton was described as a "people's person" who dedicated most of his life to sports.
His heartbroken wife, who was by his side when he passed away, added: "He died peacefully at home. The past couple of years were not easy." "He helped at the amature boxing club at Portland Leisure Centre. He used to help take me on the pads as an amateur and trained alongside us for years. [He] was loved and respected by everyone that came and will be missed. RIP KEN."
"It would also be people who have been in quite a bit of trouble and he helped in that department as well. It was not just boxing." He is now a personal trainer who previously worked for David Lloyd for 22 years. Mr Bolton, of West Bridgford, said: "That is something that my dad always wanted me to do - to do something I enjoy. I really enjoy training and I suppose that is something which passed down from my dad."
