The man who shocked the boxing world by handing Julio Cesar Chavez his first professional loss has died.
Former WBC junior welterweight champion Frankie Randall passed away on Wednesday, according to his former trainer Aaron Sewell.
While no cause of death was revealed, Randall’s son Marcus confirmed earlier this year that his father was suffering from pugilistic dementia and Parkinson’s Disease, and was moved into a nursing home.
Nicknamed “The Surgeon” and often walking out in the appropriate garb, Randall racked up a record of 48-2-1 but had never competed for a major world title.
