Arturo Gatti Jr., son of late boxing icon Arturo ‘Thunder’ Gatti, dies at 17

The boxing champ died on July 11, 2009, in a seaside resort in northeastern Brazil, officials said.

American boxer and social media influencer Jake Paul lamented Gatti Jr.’s passing, saying he had “so much potential.”

“Very sad to see a young man with so much potential lose his life and do so like his legendary father,” Paul said in statement on Wednesday. “May they conquer together up above.”

An aspiring boxer, Gatti Jr. posted a photo illustration on Instagram two weeks showing how he might have looked standing alongside his late father.

The illustration depicted them both wearing trunks marked “Thunder.”
