Several Welsh boxers have been killed in the ring - boxing is a dangerous sport. The most famous is Johnny Owen - the Matchstick Man - who was fatally injured while fighting Lupe Pintor for the World Bantamweight Title in Los Angeles on 19/9/80.

Johnny did not die in the ring, but in hospital some days later. The full story is on the website.
