Promoter Frank Maloney has landed in the hospital with what may be a minor heart attack. On Monday, it was Maloney who found super middleweight Darren Sutherland (40, 4KOs) dead in his Bromley flat. The death of Sutherland, who won a bronze medal for Ireland at last year’s Beijing Olympics, has sent shockwaves in the boxing industry. Numerous reports have stated that Sutherland's death is being viewed as a suicide, with fighter alleged to have hanged himself.
Tracey Maloney, the frank’s wife, told Telegraph Sport that her husband does not have a history of heart issues.
“Frank has no history of heart problems. On the contrary, he’s very active and keeps very fit. The hospital doctors want to keep Frank in for a few days, and keep an eye on him, but knowing Frank, he’ll want to get out of there and back to work as soon as possible.”
