'Beautiful, perfect' more tributes to man who died after fighting in charity boxing event

Dominic Chapman died after fighting in the Ultra White Collar Boxing event held at Tramps nightclub on Saturday night, (April 9).

Dominic, known to friends and family as 'Domo', collapsed in the ring and later died in hospital.

On Worcester News' Facebook page Dominic's mum Trish Chapman wrote: "This is my son -  I cannot believe or accept that in six minutes his life has ended. He was the most beautiful perfect man. No words."

Her tribute followed a message from Dominic's brother Joseph on his Facebook page which said: "We are utterly broken to have lost Domo.

"He was the kindest, friendliest and most decent human being I knew. He lit up the lives of all who were fortunate enough to have met him.

"Domo has already changed three lives through organ donation, even since leaving us. I couldn’t be prouder of him.

"It was my privilege to be able to call him my little brother and my best mate. Rest easy, lad."

Joseph also shared a picture of him with Dominic, and sister Niamh.

Brendan Morissey, a cousin of Dominic, wrote: "Can't believe that I am looking at these three faces in a news article.

"My lovely cousins, such a trio and now life changed forever. RIP lovely Dominic."

A spokesperson for Worcester Sixth Form College, where Dominic had once been a student, said: "Dominic's teachers remember him as a happy, polite and hard-working student who was a pleasure to teach.

"He was a tremendous young man and we are deeply saddened by his passing. Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this time."

Tributes were also posted on the paper's Facebook page.

Allie Lou said: "So sad to hear this news, Dominic was a pleasure to know and work with you many years ago."

Lee Wilson said: "He was a great lad from a lovely family, such a cruel cruel shame."

Mark Den Davis said: "So difficult to make any sense of this, I had the pleasure of knowing Dom personally and he was just the most likeable lovely person you could ever wish to meet.

"One thing is absolutely certain the world is a poorer place without him in it. God bless you mate."

Dominic was 'kindest' and 'most outstanding' man

Helen Ward said: " I have no words - he was an outstanding man."

Sally Wild said: "The most kindest person you would ever meet, a man died doing something for a good cause."

Karen Fitzer wrote: "Dominic was one of the nicest lads I have ever known."

Tributes were also left on a Justgiving fundraising page Mr Chapman had shared before the event, which showed he had raised £800 of a £400 target.
