Boxing by Tom Sheen, The Sun 14th Mar 2021 12:25 PM Boxing icon Marvelous Marvin Hagler has died aged 66. His wife, Kay, confirmed the sad news on social media late on Saturday night. The American, widely regarded one of the greatest boxers ever, reigned as the undisputed middleweight world champion between 1980 and 1987. His 12 title defences rate as the third-longest ever championship reign, while his six years and seven months with the belt is the second-longest tenure for a middleweight. Kay, with whom he had five children, wrote on Facebook: I am sorry to make a very sad announcement.
