CHAMPION Brit boxer Callum Simpson’s sister has tragically died in a horror car crash in Greece.
Lily Rae Simpson, 19, had gone to Zante for a sunny vacation when she met with the fatal accident.
The teen was rushed to Athens in an air ambulance where she was given urgent medical treatment – but died on August 21 of the injuries.
A heartbroken Callum shared the tragic news on social media yesterday.
Posting a picture of him posing with his little sister, the boxer wrote: “Absolutely heartbroken to say that my beautiful little sister, Lily-Rae, was in a road accident while on holiday in Zante.
“She was flown to Athens and spent 10 days in ICU, but despite the best efforts of the medical teams, Lily sadly passed away.”
Callum, a British, Commonwealth and WBA Continental Champion from Barnsley, said he would “continue to make her sister proud”.
He added: “Even though she used to ring me to complain about being referred to as ‘Callum Simpson’s sister’, I know she loved the hype.
” I will continue to make her proud. Love you always.”
