TYSON FURY last night laid bare the brutal realities of boxing after the death of debutant Sherif Lawal.
London-based Lawal, 29, was rushed to hospital on Sunday after collapsing during his professional bow in Harrow, west London.
He had been knocked down in the fourth round of a middleweight bout by Portuguese opponent Malam Varela before being treated by paramedics.
Lawal (right) was later pronounced dead and Fury paid tribute as he said: "God rest his soul."
Fury takes on fellow world heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk in their long-awaited unification fight on Saturday.
But he revealed he has long accepted his own fate could be decided over 12 rounds.
