MEXICO CITY (AP) — Arturo Gatti Jr., the son of the late boxing great Arturo Gatti, has died at the age of 17, the World Boxing Association announced.
Gatti Jr. was found dead in a Mexico City apartment where he was living with his mother, Amanda Rodrigues. Authorities have not stated the cause of death.
“The WBA and the boxing world mourn the passing of Arturo Gatti Jr. His journey was just beginning, yet his spirit will live on, now he is reunited with his legendary father among the stars,” the WBA stated on Wednesday. “Our deepest condolences to his family and loved ones.”
Gatti Jr. moved to Mexico City to train in local academies while preparing to make his professional boxing debut.
Gatti Jr. was 10 months old when his father, who was a world champion in two weight classes, died at age 37 in Brazil in July 2009. Gatti Sr.’s body was found at an apartment he had rented with Rodrigues. Police initially held Rodrigues as a suspect but released her and concluded Gatti Sr. died by suicide.
