Canadians killed in Ferrari crash in Dubai

Two Canadians have died in Dubai after their rented Ferrari struck a pole and was split in half.

One of the men killed was Toronto boxer, Cody Nixon. The Motor City Boxing Club in Oshawa posted a tribute on it’s Facebook page, saying he had died “while vacationing overseas.”

They have not confirmed the identity of the other Canadian, but it is believed to be Cody’s cousin.

The National newspaper says two others also died in the crash, which happened early Sunday local time.

It was first reported by police that three people were killed in the crash but later said two men and two women had died.
