Britain's Anthony Yarde urges people to stay at home after his father dies with coronavirus.
Yarde's promoter, Frank Warren, expressed his"sincere condolences to Yarde and his family".
"Coronavirus is an issue affecting all of us, but that doesn’t make the individual casualties any less tragic," he said. "We hope that his fans listen to Anthony’s heartfelt plea for people to take the government's advice seriously so we can try and minimise the suffering of others." Yarde's next fight was set to be against Britain's Lyndon Arthur on 11 April, but the event has been delayed until 11 July because of the pandemic.
