    Leon Spinks got in a bad way after swallowing a chicken bone, but didn't die. Cant think of a fighter who did.

    I don't know about choking on a chicken bone but there was a boxer that died during a croissant eating contest.

    Sorry Pug, no cigar. Many claim that Mama Cass died because of choking on a chicken bone but the cause of her death were natural causes, she was overweight.
