-

A Scottish boxer has died in Thailand of suspected heatstroke while trying to reach a certain weight for his next fight. Jordan Coe, 20, a profession­al Muay Thai boxer, was found dead in a heavy tracksuit. Coe had been scheduled to fight a Cambodian boxer in the Muang district on Sunday night and was expected to return to Scotland in the northern summer to fight at the Glasgow Thai Boxing Academy. Craig Floan, his coach at Glasgow Thai Boxing Academy, was told about his death in a phone call on Sunday. ‘‘Jordan was found this morning, he died in Thailand and the embassy there think he died from heatstroke,’’ he said.
