Detectives investigating the murder of a new father have made an arrest.
Reece Newcombe, 31, was stabbed with a piece of glass in a fight on Richmond Bridge in south-west London in the early hours of Saturday.
A 32-year-old man went to a police station in west London on Monday afternoon and was arrested on suspicion of murder.
Tributes have been paid to Mr Newcombe, who worked as a boxing trainer with celebrities including former footballer Ian Wright.
His family said in a post on Facebook that they are “truly heartbroken”.
Former boxer Barry Jones said on Twitter that Mr Newcombe was “such a lovely, charismatic and caring person and a talented boxer”.
An online appeal for funds for his baby daughter has already raised more than £50,000.
Detectives investigating his murder believe a number of people watched the fight and several filmed what happened on their mobile phones.
