THE brother of Julio Cesar Chavez, one of Mexicoโs greatest boxers, Rafael Chavez was killed in his home in Mexico.

Boxing Scene reports that Chavez said, โThere has been a lack ofย securityย in Culiacรกn and not just in Culiacรกn… this is happening throughout the Mexican Republic and I think we must unite, all Mexicans, to fight against this, to support each other because it seems that there is no government.โ
