The cousin of boxer Tyson Fury has been stabbed to death in what police called a “senseless” and “unplanned” attack.

In a social media post on Sunday, the heavyweight boxing champion said his cousin Rico Burton was “stabbed in the neck” and called on the government to “bring higher sentencing for knife crime”.
