One year ago today, I lost one of my closest friends in boxing, and the boxing world lost a true champion who defined the word warrior, when former junior lightweight and lightweight champion Diego "Chico" Corrales was killed in a motorcyle accident in Las Vegas. Corrales is survived by his wife Michelle; daughters Natia, Sequioa and Daylia; sons Devontay, Joel and Diego Corrales Jr. Those interested in making a contribution to Diego's memorial fund should contact Judd Burstein at 212-974-2400. Pulled from our archives are articles writen by legendary boxing scribes Michael Katz and Budd Schulberg shortly after Diego's tragic passing.
