Tysie Gallagher’s scheduled defence of her British, Commonwealth and WBO international titles has been postponed following the death of her partner’s mother.<\/b><\/p>\n

The super-bantamweight from Luton was due to meet unbeaten Ebonie Jones on 7 February at Canon Medical Arena in Sheffield.<\/p>\n

But the fight has been put back after Dianne Cleary was found dead at a house last week following what police described as “an altercation” in which another woman was injured. <\/p>\n

A 25-year-old man has been charged with her murder<\/a>, and friends and family lit lanterns in her memory in the Lea Manor area of Luton at the weekend.<\/p>\n

In a post on her Facebook page, Portsmouth boxer Jones said: “Sometimes things in life are bigger than boxing and this is one of them.<\/p>\n

“I just want to send my condolences to Tysie and her family at this moment.”<\/p>\n

Gallagher – whose partner Callum Cleary is a boxing coach – has a record of nine wins and two defeats since turning professional, and retained her titles by stopping Tori-Ellis Willetts in September.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, she described Dianne Cleary as the “most kind-hearted, caring, beautiful woman,” on her Facebook page. <\/p>\n

She added: “The love and support from everybody speaks volumes for how many people’s lives you touched and how much every single person who met you loved you so much.”<\/p>\n

The fight with Jones is now set to take place on 4 April in London.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
