Former boxing champion Alexis Arguello was found dead, with a gunshot wound to the chest on Wednesday. Autopsy results are not yet known, but suicide is suspected.

“Alexis Arguello was a first-class fighter and a first-class gentleman,” Hall of Fame executive director Edward Brophy said. “The Hall of Fame joins the boxing community in mourning the loss of a great champion and friend.”

Arguello will likely be remembered for his two classic fights with Aaron Pryor and his fights with other boxing greats: Ray Mancini, Bobby Chacon and Ruben Olivares.

“I’m kind of in a daze right now,” Pryor saud after hearing the news. “Those were great fights we had. This was a great champion.”

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Arguello family.
