Rinomhota, 27, said: “No words or pictures are going to be enough to show or express the love I have and will always have for you my brother.

“Those we love don't go away, they walk beside us every day.

“Rest in peace Joe.”

Joseph was competing in the Samui International Muay Thai Stadium on the popular tourist island of Koh Samu on Friday.

The fight, which kicked off at 9.30pm local time, was stopped by the referee in the third round after the Brit was reportedly kicked in the right side of his rib cage, local outlet Khaosod English reports.

He managed to leave the ring and took off his gloves, but suddenly became unwell while unwrapping his hand bandages.

Witnesses said he began experiencing muscle tension, struggled to breathe, and his eyes began rolling.

Though still conscious, he collapsed shortly afterwards, with his heart said to have stopped.

The Brit's trainer desperately performed CPR until emergency services rushed him to Thai International Hospital, less than two miles from the venue.

But despite medics' efforts, he was pronounced dead at 11pm local time.

THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY..
