  • Cuban Olympic boxer Arnaldo Mesa died at 46







    HAVANA (AP) — Cuban authorities say Olympic silver medalist boxer Arnaldo Mesa has died. He was 46.
    Government-run sports website Jit.cu says Mesa died Monday in the eastern city of Holguin, several days after he was hospitalized for a stroke.
    Mesa, a southpaw, was born Dec. 6, 1966, in the eastern province of Santiago.
    In 1996 he was runner-up in the bantamweight class at the Olympics in Atlanta. He won a gold medal at the Pan American Games in 1991, in Havana, and again four years later in Mar del Plata, Argentina.
    His funeral is planned for Wednesday.[/QUOTE]
