Tyson Fury’s cousin stabbed to death

Rico Burton, the cousin of boxing legend Tyson Fury, was stabbed to death on Saturday night.

The boxer shared the tragic news in a shock Instagram post this morning.

He said: “My cousin was murdered last night, stabbed in the neck.

“This is becoming ridiculous – idiots carry knives. This needs to stop.”

He called on the Government to “bring back higher sentencing for knife crime”, adding: “It’s a pandemic.

“You don’t know how had it is until it’s one of your own.

“Life is very precious and it can be taken away very quick. Enjoy every moment.

“RIP Rico Burton – may the lord god grant you a good place in heaven, see you soon.”
