Muhammad Afrizal
Indonesian boxer / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Muhammad Afrizal Cotto (September 14, 1981 – April 4, 2012) was an Indonesian featherweight and junior lightweight boxer who became the 28th Indonesian boxer to die since 1948. Previous to Afrizal, the last Indonesian boxing fatality was in 2007. In 2002 the World Boxing Council banned Indonesian boxers from fighting in WBC-sanctioned bouts outside the country, following a series of deaths. The ban was lifted July 2002 on the condition that Indonesia impose safety rules and form a commission to monitor matches.
