Ticket money from Ricky Burns' world title fight against Kiryl Relikh will be donated to the family of tragic Scottish fighter Mike Towell, promoter Eddie Hearn has announced.

The Dundee boxer passed away following a bout with Welshman Dan Evans in Glasgow last week and cash raised from sales on Thursday will go towards Towell's heartbroken relatives.

Burns will take on the man from Belarus in Glasgow's SSE Hydro on Friday and Hearn says everyone in the boxing community has a duty to do what they can to show support.

Hearn said: "Our deepest sympathies go to the family of Mike Towell after the tragic events last week.

"From midnight tonight to midnight on Thursday night, the money from all tickets sold for Friday's show will go to Mike's family. The community always comes together."
