Mr Newcombe was a talented boxer and had recently become a father for the first time. A GoFundMe site has been set up to raise money for his daughter, proving successful as it has currently raised £50,000.
In the last few hours, a 32-year-old male has handed himself into a West London Police station and remains in custody.
The area was busy at the time due to its location close to a nightclub, and police believed there were a number of witnesses who may have filmed the altercation and urged them to come forward.

Investigations are ongoing to bring justice to Reece who was described by one of his close friends as “the most loved man in West London”.
