Olympic boxer talked of suicide and was scared of his manager, inquest told

An Olympic bronze medallist boxer talked about suicide and said he was “scared” of his manager Frank Maloney, his inquest has heard.

Darren Sutherland, who turned professional after winning bronze at the 2008 Beijing Games, was discovered dead at his home in Bromley, Kent, on Sept 14, 2009.

The 27-year-old Irishman was “stressed” about a cut under his eye that would not heal and whether he should give up boxing, the inquest at Croydon Coroner’s Court was told.
