THE brother of Julio Cesar Chavez, one of Mexicoโ€™s greatest boxers, Rafael Chavez was killed in his home in Mexico.

According to authorities two men entered his house in Culiacan on Sunday night and were carrying out a robbery at gunpoint. Reportedly when Chavez resisted he was shot.

Boxing Scene reports that Chavez said, โ€œThere 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€

He continued, “The increase of murders, uprisingsย are increasing. Today it was my brother, maybe tomorrowย it will beย me. I am very outraged.โ€
