According to various reports in the UK, London police have arrested a 19-year-old man in connection with the murder of former British heavyweight champion James Oyebola.

The 6'9 Oyebola was shot in the head and leg at close range on Monday after asking three men earlier in the night to stop smoking at the Chateau 6 nightclub in Fulham Road. Oyebola approached the men while assisting bar security on behalf of the owner. The three men took offense to Oyebola intervening in the situation, and one of the three shot him as they exited the club.

Oyebola was taken off life support on Friday and pronounced dead by medical staff at New Charing Cross Hospital at 12.39pm.
