ARTURO GATTI JR has tragically died aged 17.
The Canadian had followed in his legendary late father’s footsteps in boxing and competed on the amateur circuit.
Former world champion Gatti Sr passed away aged 37 in 2009, when his son was just a baby.
Earlier today, former boxer Jean Pascal revealed that Gatti Jr had died.
Alongside an AI picture of the two Gattis together, Pascal wrote on his Instagram story: “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.”
