Street Fighter Kimbo Slice Dead

 

The fighting world is shocked after learning of street-fighter Kimbo Slice's death in Florida.

After being admitted to Florida hospital the 42-year-old has reportedly died.  

Slice, whose real name is Kevin Ferguson, was taken from his home in Coral Springs by emergency services before being admitted into care.

His exact cause of death is unclear, but reports state it's a possible heart attack.

Kimbo Slice was one of the most popular MMA fighters known for his large personality, rising to fame through a series of backyard fighting videos posted on YouTube in 2003. 

In 2007 he started his professional career when he signed a contract with Elite Xtreme Combat.

After leaving the UFC in 2010, Kimbo Slice started boxing, making 7 professional appearances all undefeated - with 6 of the victories coming by knockout.

His last fight was in Sydney in 2013 when he knocked out Australian fighter Shane Tilyard.

Then he retired with a record of 7-0 before heading back to MMA, signing with Bellator MMA on a multi-fight deal in January last year.

RIP to a great athlete and fighting legend.
