Former world champion considered the best Puerto Rican fighter of all-time, Wilfredo Gomez is showing signs of recovery after he was rushed to hospital in critical condition after respiratory failure caused by a lung infection.
The World Boxing Council quoted a family spokesman, Erick Rodriguez, who said the 56-year-old Gomez “is even breathing on his own and has tried to communicate with signs” while sister-in-law Sonia Hernandez told the WBC the health of the former champion “is evolving positively.”
Gomez won WBA and WBC titles at super-bantamweight, featherweight and junior lightweight. He retired in 1989 with a 44-3 record, including one draw and 42 knockouts.
