Arturo followed in the footsteps of his father, the late boxing legend Arturo “Thunder” Gatti, carrying forward a legacy rooted in the ring and fueled by dreams of athletic excellence.
His passing has sent shockwaves through the boxing community, where many had watched his growth with hope and expectation. His longtime coach, Moe Latif, confirmed the news and asked for privacy for the grieving family.
Arturo Jr. was dear to his family, friends, and all who believed in his potential. In this moment of grief, the thoughts and prayers of fans, boxing organizations, and communities around the world are with his loved ones.
