Arturo Gatti Jr Dies Aged 17 Years After Father’s Mysterious Death
Former world champion Arturo Gatti Sr. died back in 2009.
Arturo Gatti Jr, the son of boxing legend Arturo Gatti, has passed away at the age of just 17.
Just over 16 years after Gatti Snr’s mysterious death, news of Gatti Jr’s passing emerged on Wednesday evening.
As reported by the Daily Mail, French-Canadian network TVA Nouvelles stated that the teenager was with his mother, Amanda Rodrigues, in Mexico before his death.

It has been suggested that he was found dead by a neighbour.
The teenager was hoping to follow in his father’s footsteps and become a professional boxer.
Gatti Jr shared a close relationship with boxing great Mike Tyson and was expected to turn professional in the future.
Back in 2009, Gatti Snr passed away at the age of 37, when Gatti Jr was just a baby.
At the time, his wife, Amanda Rodrigues, was initially charged with murder.
However, after an autopsy, it was deemed that Gatti Snr had taken his own life while on holiday in Brazil.
Earlier on Wednesday, former boxer Jean Pascal paid tribute to Gatti Jr.

He wrote on social media: “Sixteen years after losing his father, the world loses another Gatti. The son of a legend two fighters, one legacy. Both gone too soon.
“May they reunite in peace. My heart is heavy… life can be unfair sometimes. I’m sending strength, love and prayers to his family. May he rest in power, like his father a true warrior.”
Chuck Zito, a longtime friend and former bodyguard of Gatti Snr, said: “It’s with a heavy heart that I have to say,…. R.I.P. to 17-year-old ARTURO GATTI JR.
“My condolences to Arturo Gatti Senior’s Mom, Sisters, Brothers, and his daughter Sophia.”
Just two weeks ago, Gatti Jr had posted an AI generated picture of himself standing alongside his late father, with both dressed in boxing gear.
