      Former IBF middleweight champion Lemieux is only 33 but has clearly been left heartbroken by his father’s senseless and brutal killing.
      Lemieux told Boxing News 24: “I’ve accomplished a lot in the course of my career.
      “I achieved my dream of becoming world champion, I’ve given the fans rousing fights by accepting every challenge that came my way.
      “I devoted my life to training, to boxing, and now I want to cherish every minute with my family.

      “I accomplished a lot, but I didn’t do it alone. I want to take this opportunity to thank all the fans who supported and encouraged me throughout my career.”
      Lemieux lost his IBF title in a thrilling fight with legend Gennady Golovkin at Madison Square Garden in 2015.
      He was also defeated by Brit Billy Joe Saunders in Quebec in 2017.
      Lemieux said just after his father’s death: “To learn that your father died by being shot while waiting for the bus is quite a shock. Everyone in the family is shaken.”

      Lemieux lost his last fight to David Benavidez in May this year.
      His pro career began in 2007 and his overall record is 43 wins and five losses. But many boxers change their minds about retirement, with Tyson Fury performing another U-turn this week. More

      Kate Greville claims she became Giggs’ ‘slave’
      He also allegedly assaulted her younger sister Emma by elbowing her in the jaw at his £1.7million mansion in November 2020.
      Jurors at Manchester Crown Court were today played a 999 call Emma made on the night of the alleged attack.
      Kate can be heard screaming in the background and saying “oh my god, it’s so bad”.
      When asked by the operator why her sister is screaming, Emma replies: “She was headbutted in the lip”.

      In a second call, Emma says Giggs is “doing a runner” as the operator asks for his name.
      The call-handler replies: “As in the Ryan Giggs?”
      Emma then tells them: “He said he’s going to headbutt me quite soon… He’s coming back”.
      Giggs can be heard in the background of the call asking if she called the police.

      He adds: “Kate, Kate, all I wanted was my phone, now we will be everywhere.”
      PR exec Kate can still be heard crying in the background of the call as the operator asks if she needs an ambulance.
      Emma says: “I don’t know, she’s got a burst lip, I can’t tell you. He’s headbutted her in the face.”
      The court also heard from a police officer who arrived at the mansion and saw Kate sitting on the kitchen floor with a “swollen top and bottom lip with significant bruises”.
      In bodycam footage of Giggs’ arrest, the footballer claims a row broke out after Kate refused to give him his phone back.
      Speaking with blood on his mouth, he says: “We got in a little bit of a tangle, rumbling on the floor there.
      “I didn’t know if she had my phone or not, I then tried to get her phone off her and we struggled on the floor and she’s kicked me in the head.”
      Giggs continues: “She asked for my phone and there’s been a struggle over there right… I got injured first and then it calmed down.”
      ‘SLAVE’ CLAIMS
      The former Wales boss also tells police he loves his cocker spaniel “just as much as Kate” as he’s quizzed at the scene by officers.
      Giggs is accused of using controlling and coercive behaviour against Kate over a three-year period.
      In her previous evidence, Kate told how she became a “slave to his every need and every demand”.
      She added: “He made me feel like I had to do what he said, otherwise there were consequences.”
      Kate said she was a “vulnerable” position when their relationship started and claimed Giggs “played on it”.
      She also told jurors the footballer “isolated me from certain people” and “interfered with my ability to interact with my family”.

      It was alleged earlier in the trial that the former Man United star, 48, had eight affairs.
      Kate wept as she described being in lockdown with him as a “living hell”, a court heard yesterday.
      She told jurors that the football legend became “more angry and aggressive” and that it was “a horrific time for me”.

      And the jury heard that she told cops he cheated on her with a dozen women.
      Footage showed Kate sobbing as she dabbed her lip with a tissue.
      She told police: “Basically, I found a load of s**t before I told him and kept it to myself.
      “I found he had been cheating on me for the last six years with ten or 12 women.
      Most read in The Sun
      “Every time I found something it got worse, I found his iPad, kept it all to myself for two weeks.”
      Earlier in the case, the court heard Giggs, 48, had eight affairs, which Greville uncovered on his tablet.
      She said they were “full-on relationships that had gone on constantly from 2014”.
      The footage emerged on day four of Giggs’s trial at Manchester Crown Court. The ex-Wales international is accused of controlling and coercive behaviour against Kate between August 2017 and November 2020.
      He is further accused of assaulting Kate causing actual bodily harm and the common assault of her sister.
      Giggs denies all the charges.
      ‘You’re a manipulator’
      The court also heard that:

      KATE suffered panic attacks during lockdown with Giggs;
      GIGGS allegedly made it difficult for Kate to see friends and family during their relationship;
      KATE admitted lying to Giggs about having cancerous cells de- tected in a smear test so she “would not have to have sex with him”.

      She broke down in tears as she told a jury how Giggs left her suffering panic attacks after being trapped in a “living hell” during lockdown.
      Kate said: “I felt like I was losing my mind. I was having panic attacks. It was a horrific time for me.”
      Defence lawyer Chris Daw QC asked her: “You suggested lockdown was a period of living hell and there was nothing good about it.
      Basically, I found a load of s**t before I told him and kept it to myself. I found he had been cheating on me for the last six years with ten or 12 women.
      “Could you not have stayed at your parents’ house?” Breaking down in tears, she said: “Yes, I wanted to stay with Ryan.
      “It was a cycle of abuse that made me feel insecure. I kept going back, he kept promising the world.
      “He made me believe that he would not do it again and, stupidly, I went back. I am hugely ashamed of that but I did.” Mr Daw played two videos ofthe pair in lockdown.
      They were exercising together in the garden and appeared in a TikTok video rapping to 50 Cent’s In Da Club.
      Mr Daw put it to her that lockdown was “hard for everyone” but the couple were doing “fun things” including having Michelin star chefs cook for them, wine tasting on Zoom and online quizzes.
      PR executive Kate said: “It was not all fun. It doesn’t mean he was being nice to me all the time.”
      ‘Hugely ashamed’
      Kate claimed he had “conditioned” her to reply to text messages within seconds and had isolated her from friends and family. But Mr Daw pointed out a number of photos of Kate on holiday with friends in 2019 and 2020, when she visited Malta, Ibiza, Greece, Portugal and had also been skiing.
      Kate denied having “active, regular and very enthusiastic sex” with Giggs at the time she had a contraceptive coil removed — and rejected the suggestion her plan was to get pregnant.
      She did admit lying to Giggs by telling him she’d been told she had cancerous cells following a smear test — saying it was to cover up the fact she was going for an STD test, which came back negative. Giggs was branded “a pig” by Kate after she found messages on his phone to another woman after moving in with him during the pandemic.
      Following the alleged incident in August 2020 — just five months after they started living together at Giggs’s £1.7million mansion in Worsley, Gtr Manchester — she messaged him: “Thank you for wasting my time you absolute pig. You are vile. Go to hell you absolute skank.
      It was a cycle of abuse that made me feel insecure. I kept going back, he kept promising the world.
      “You’re a liar, you’re a cheat, you’re a narcissist, you’re a manipulator, you’re controlling, you’re aggressive, you’re violent, you’re a disappointment. No f*** off out of my life.”
      Giggs replied in an email: “That angry you can’t write. Chills. Kate, you didn’t catch me in bed with anyone. I sent a few drunken texts, chills babe. I wish I had cheated now.” In another he said: “Give the therapist a call, Kate.”
      Later in the exchange he told her: “I don’t give a f*** about you.”
      The mum of one was asked about an alleged incident at The Stafford London hotel on December 6, 2019.
      She said Giggs kicked her out of bed and threw a laptop bag at her head, before ejecting her from the room naked.
      She also claimed he threw her naked into a hotel corridor in Dubai in September 2017.
      Giggs is accused of assaulting Kate on November 1, 2020, following a night out. She said he headbutted her in the face.

      Giggs, 48, also allegedly used controlling and coercive behaviour against Kate, 36, and attacked her younger sister Emma at his £1.7million mansion.
      Kate is continuing her evidence at Manchester Crown Court today on the forth day of the trial.
      She claimed how Giggs attacked her at the swanky Stafford Hotel in London in December 2019.
      In a witness statement, Kate said the footballer “threw a bag at my head with a laptop in it which caused my head to swell and bruise”.
      Read more on the trial
      She also claimed Giggs booted her out the bed and threw her out the hotel room naked in the alleged attack, which led to the ex-midfielder being arrested.
      During cross examination, Giggs’ barrister Chris Daw QC asked if Kate was “trying to make everything sound as bad as it could”.
      She replied: “No it was 100 per cent what happened.”
      He also quizzed the PR exec over texts the pair exchanged the next day about how hungover they were.
      Most read in The Sun
      Kate also thanked Giggs for coming to pick her up, saying it was “very lovely” of him.
      Mr Daw said: “This was the day after you claim he violently assaulted you and reading these messages we don’t even get a hint of that.”
      Kate replied: “He made me feel like it was my fault, he made me feel insecure and made me feel I couldn’t have a problem with what happened because it was my fault.”
      She also told how living with Giggs in lockdown was “utter hell” but claimed at that point she was in a “cycle of abuse”.
      In her previous evidence, Kate told how she became a “slave to his every need and every demand”.
      She added: “He made me feel like I had to do what he said, otherwise there were consequences.”
      Kate said she was a “vulnerable” position when their relationship started and claimed Giggs “played on it”.
      She also told jurors the footballer “isolated me from certain people” and “interfered with my ability to interact with my family”.
      In another alleged violent incident in Dubai in September 2017, Kate claimed she was dragged naked from their hotel bed and pulled across the lounge suite when she said something he “didn’t like”.
      She said she was left with a bruise on her arm when she was forced to retrieve her belongings from the hotel corridor naked.
      But Mr Daw said the allegations were “lies” and maintained the mark was a “sex injury”.
      He added: “It was a bruise caused by rough sex that the two of you enjoyed a lot.”
      Kate said: “No, he grabbed me by my wrist and caused bruising.”
      ‘ROUGH SEX TEXTS’
      The jury were read WhatsApp messages between the pair that were exchanged over a five day period following the alleged Dubai incident.
      Mr Daw read one message from the time, in which Kate wrote: “I want you so badly rough.”
      Giggs replied: “Do you? I’m scared of hurting you.”
      Kate responded: “I want it to hurt a little. Not in a weird way. I just want you to shock and surprise me.”
      Giggs told her “it’s a fine line”, to which Kate said: “We will just have to have fun finding that line then.”
      The midfielder then sent a photograph of a sex toy, a paddle, in an Agent Provocateur box.
      Kate asked: “What is that? Xx.”
      Giggs replied: “You asked me to be a bit more assertive.”
      She wrote: “I’m intrigued. When are you using this?”
      He then sent a photo of a pair of handcuffs and said: “Just after you have used this.”
      Kate wrote back: “Amazing,” and Giggs replied: “They f***ing are.”
      She told jurors on Tuesday how she first had sex with Giggs in December 2014 while on a work event at a hotel in London and she left her husband the following February.
      Kate claims the ex-Wales international grabbed her by the shoulders and headbutted her in November 2020 after she confronted him about his serial cheating.

      Quebecs independent police watchdog said the Montreal police tactical unit was at a motel at about 7am for a search linked to the investigation into three homicides in Montreal and Laval in the past two days.
      The watchdog said officers were confronted by a suspect with a firearm.
      Shots were fired and the man was struck by at least one bullet and pronounced dead at the scene.
      The police operation comes after a pair of killings about 65 minutes apart and just a few miles from each other on Tuesday evening in two Montreal boroughs.

      Police said they could not rule out the victims were chosen at random.
      And one of the men killed was identified as Andre Fernand Lemieux, 64, the father of Canadian middleweight boxer David Lemieux.
      Another victim was Mohamed Salah Belhaj, 48, an intervention officer at a local mental health hospital.
      The 33-year-old Lemieux, a former IBF middleweight title holder, confirmed the news by uploading a post on his Instagram with a picture of his father accompanied by the caption “R.I.P. dad.”
      Most read in Boxing
      He went on to explain to Le Journal de Montreal: “To learn that your father died by being shot while waiting for the bus is quite a shock. Everyone in the family is shaken.”
      Police found the body of Lemieux’s father around 9:45 p.m. near a park in the St-Laurent borough of Quebec where he was declared dead at the scene after reportedly being shot at least once in the upper body.
      Cops killed alleged suspect 26-year-old Abdulla Shaikh, who appears to have suffered from mental health issues and is believed to have chosen his victims at random, two days after his alleged attack began.
      Lemieux (43-5, 36 KOs) claimed the IBF middleweight title in 2015 via a unanimous decision over Hassan N’Dam.
      He has also come up short in other championship bouts against Gennadiy Golovkin and Billy Joe Saunders.

      Giving evidence on day three on his assault and coercive behaviour trial at Manchester Crown Court, Kate told Chris Daw QC, cross-examining: “I was in a vulnerable position and he played on it.
      “When Ryan said do something, I would do it.
      “There was resistance sometimes but he made me feel like I had to do what he said, otherwise there would be consequences.”
      Giggs, 48, denies using controlling and coercive behaviour against Kate, 36, between August 2017 and November 2020.
      READ MORE ON FOOTBALL
      He also denies assaulting her, causing actual bodily harm and the common assault of her younger sister.
      Yesterday, Kate broke down in tears as she told how the former Manchester United star “came at me from nowhere and headbutted me in the face”.
      Describing the ordeal in front of the footballer, the 38-year-old said: “I was in shock. I fell backwards, my lip instantly swelled.
      “I put my hands over my mouth and I could taste the blood.”
      The court also heard how Giggs wanted to “have sex all the time”, despite sleeping with eight other women during their relationship.
      Most read in The Sun
      He also allegedly threw a laptop at her head during a hotel row over his cheating.
      And Kate said she felt like she was the former Wales boss’ “housemaid” as he “took the p***” out of the way she loaded the dishwasher and made the bed.
      On the night of the alleged attack on November 1, 2020, Giggs and Kate had been with pals at Manchester’s Stock Exchange hotel.
      It is said a row started as Giggs, 48, became “very angry” when Kate failed to refer to him as her “boyfriend”.
      Giving evidence while being questioned by Peter Wright QC, prosecuting, she said he stormed off.
      She added: “He said he was finished with me and didn’t want anything to do with me any more.
      “I knew everything he had been doing and I had the proof for the first time ever.
      “I was upset at that point so I blurted it out.”
      She claimed Giggs tried to deny cheating but was “very drunk and very angry”.
      ‘HE DELIBERATELY WANTED TO HURT ME’
      Kate said she called an Uber and messaged her sister Emma, who was dog-sitting their golden retriever puppy Mac at Giggs’ home, to pack her things.
      At the £1.7million property in Worsley, Greater Manchester, they started putting items in bin liners, but Giggs arrived and allegedly started emptying everything.
      Inside the house Kate said she took his phone as a “bargaining chip”, adding: “I was really upset and I said, ‘please Ryan just let me go please’.
      “I hadn’t seen him that angry before.”
      Kate said he pushed her backwards and she ended up “flat on my back with him on top of me”.
      She wept as she told the jury she screamed for her sister to help.
      The scuffle then moved to the kitchen, where it is alleged Giggs headbutted her.
      Kate said: “All the other times that he’d hurt me, this was different.
      “This was intent, he deliberately wanted to hurt me.”
      She claimed Giggs begged her not to report him to police, who had been called by her sister.
      She said: “He said, ‘I need you to think about this, Kate. This will ruin me and it will ruin you.
      “Think about my job, think about my kids, think about my career’.
      “I told him, ‘well you shouldn’t have done it then’.”

      “He would make me feel like he was threatening my job. I was so worried he was going to ruin my career.

      “Then I’d found out he’d been in a relationship the whole time.
      “He came over and had sex. I felt used the whole time. He’d want sex every other day. He was having sex with a totally different girl.”
      In the statement she went on to claim that Giggs would constantly “put her down” and critcise her.
      She said he would “take the p**s” about “the way I loaded the dishwasher was wrong” or that “the way I made the bed was wrong”.She said: “It was like I was a housemaid, I was his staff member.”
      Kate also relived the “humiliating” moment Giggs allegedly kicked her out of her hotel room naked and shoved her to the floor in a row over him flirting with other women.
      The court heard how the former Wales boss “flipped” during a night out before the terrifying attack at the five-star London Stafford – one of a string of assaults alleged to have taken place over almost three years.

      Kate said the pair were in a club when she asked him who he was messaging.
      He claimed it was his daughter and they both went back to their hotel before he allegedly grabbed Kate by her arm.
      Giggs is accused of then “pushing” his ex to the floor, grabbing her belongings and throwing them into the hall.
      He subsequently slammed the door in her face and refused to let her back in, a jury heard.
      Kate said: “I was naked and all my stuff was in the middle of the corridor.
      “It was humiliating. I had to get back in with like a towel round me.”
      Giggs has been charged with causing Kate actual bodily harm and engaging in controlling and coercive behaviour between August 31, 2017, and November 2, 2020 – claims he has denied.
      He has also denied attacking her sister at his £1.7million home in Worsley, Greater Manchester, on November 1, 2020.
      ‘THREE YEARS OF ABUSE’
      Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court yesterday heard Giggs threatened to send emails to Kate’s friends and employers about her sexual behaviour, as well as making unwanted calls when she tried to break off the relationship.
      He also allegedly turned up unannounced and uninvited at her home, workplace and gym, and chucked her belongings out of his house when she asked him about his relationships with other women.
      Opening the case for the prosecution, Peter Wright QC yesterday said Giggs was “idolised by his adoring fans” and described his skills on the pitch as “abundant and a thing of beauty”.
      But he told the jury that behind closed doors was a “much uglier and more sinister side to his character”.
      “This was a private life that involved a litany of abuse, both physical and psychological, of a woman he professed to love,” he said.
      “A woman who, in reality, was, if the evidence is to be believed, treated in a way that cannot be excused or overlooked, by either an adoring public, or the law.
      “This is a story of control and coercion of a woman who thought she was loved and respected, sadly the reality was very different.”
      Giggs, who is on conditional bail and must not contact Kate or Emma, won 64 caps for Wales and had a glittering playing career with Man Utd, winning 13 Premier League titles, two Champions League trophies, four FA Cups and three League Cups.
      He is also a co-owner of League Two side Salford City.

      He stepped down as Wales manager last month after going on leave when he was charged in November 2020.
      The footballer said he did not want the country’s preparations for this year’s World Cup in Qatar to be “affected, destabilised or jeopardised in any way by the continued interest around this case”.
