BROCKTON, Mass. — Middleweight boxing champion Marvelous Marvin Hagler is being celebrated in his Massachusetts hometown with a street named in his honour.
The Brockton City Council on Monday approved a proposal by two councillors to name a currently under-construction street Marvin Hagler Drive, The Enterprise reported Wednesday.
Hagler, who died in March at age 66, finished his professional career with a 62-3-2 record with 52 knockouts.
The street will intersect Petronelli Way, the site of the gym where Hagler was trained and managed by the Petronelli brothers, Goody and Pat.
