Don’t know but someone I know saw him and said he was with a very attractive girl last year.
He was a courageous boxer who took his career as far as he could. He was a guy who would stand toe to toe in a war and win.
I’m very sad to hear this.

He was with his Brazilian wife. Not too many details so far. It looks suspicious, however.

He was such a warrior that I am surprised he did not die in the ring from injuries.

The Gatti-Ward trilogy was among the best in boxing history. Two fighters with top-notch heart/guts, marginal (at best) defensive skills, and styles that were made for each other.
Gatti will be missed by all fans of the Sweet Science.

A fantastic fighter and always classy in post-fight interviews. So sad! I hope his wife and baby are okay financially. Condolences to his family.
