“Our family requests that you respect our privacy during this difficult time. With love, Kay G. Hagler.” Hagler was the undisputed middleweight champion between 1980 and 1987, and was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1993.
He competed in the sport from 1973 through 1987. Hagler legally changed his name to Marvelous in 1982 because he was annoyed that announcers weren’t calling him by his nickname. The official cause of death has not been confirmed.
May his soul rest in peace
