 Former world middleweight champion Jake LaMotta, whose life inspired the movie 'Raging Bull', has died at the age of 95, his family has announced. LaMotta's daughter Christi revealed the news in a Facebook post in which she wrote: "My Father, Jake LaMotta July 10, 1922 - September 19th 2017 - Rest In Peace Pop". LaMotta held the world middleweight title between 1949 and 1951 when he lost it to his great rival Sugar Ray Robinson, against whom he would fight six times. |
