Combat Sports

Arturo Gatti was a Canadian professional boxer, born in Cassino, Italy, and raised in Montreal, who fought from 1991 to 2007. He was a world champion in two weight classes, holding the IBF junior lightweight title from 1995 to 1998 and the WBC super lightweight title from 2004 to 2005. His brawling bouts earned him a share in The Ring Fight of the Year four times, in 1997, 1998, 2002 and 2003. He retired in 2007, died in 2009 in circumstances that investigators never agreed on, and was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2012, his first year of eligibility.
