    George Foreman
    Dwight Muhammad Qawi
    Nino Benvenuti
    Mike McCallum
    Joey Archer
    Antonio Avelar
    Greg Haugen
    Livingstone Bramble
    And now Ricky Hatton

    Not to mention the number of deaths that have occurred this year, especially in Japan. 2025 has just been sad hearing the passing of both HOF and former champs, as well as every other fighter that have past away from the ring recently.

    RIP Champs.

    Indeed. But one small correction: Avelar died in 2024. Instead of him, Id have Alejandra Oliveras, who was a multiple champion and did die in 2025.

    She was anti-trans but I was still saddened by her death, I saw her fight many times and she was a great little fighter.
