Former WBO light heavyweight champion Julio Gonzalez (41-8, 25 KO’s) was reportedly killed from a motorcycle accident involving a drunk driver in nearby Guerrero, Mexico, according to fightnews.com. Gonzalez was only 35-years-old at the time of his death.
For boxing fans who may not remember Gonzalez, he was noted for having won the WBO light heavyweight title with a 12 round decision win over then WBO champion Dariusz Michalczewski in October 2003. Gonzalez lost his title in his next fight against Zsolt Erdei unfortunately.
Gonzalez also fought IBF/WBA/WBC light heavyweight champion Roy Jones for his titles in July 2001, losing by a 12 round decision. Gonzalez’s noted wins came against the following excellent fighters: Julian Letterlough, Glen Johnson, David Telesco, Montell Griffin and Vitaliy Kopytko. From 2001 to 2006, Gonzalez was among the top fighters in the light heavyweight division. He’ll be missed.
RIP
