FORMER world champion boxer Alejandro Gonzalez has lost a THIRD son to muder.
The 49-year-old Mexican retired with 49 wins and one draw from his 55-fight career after defeating John Brown in 2002.
The icon held both the WBC featherweight and IBA lightweight titles during his career.
His son Alejandro Gonzalez Jr followed him into the ring and once challenged for the IBF super bantamweight title.
But any hopes he had of emulating his father in the ring were tragically ended in 2016 when he was just 23 as he was shot to death in Guadalajara, Mexico.
Even more heartbreak was in store for the family in June 2022 when Gonzalez’s other son, Yahir, was assassinated.

He was fatally attacked while collecting a rent payment in an apartment building in Guadalajara as he was shot dead when leaving his car.
Now Gonzalez and his loved ones are having to come to terms with losing another son after his boy Luis was found lifeless yesterday on the side of a highway in Zapopan.
Luis, who was also a boxing protege, was found with traces that suggested that he had been physically attacked as well as five gunshot wounds on his legs, chest, right thigh, and neck.
The Public Ministry of the Intentional Homicide Unit of the State Prosecutor’s Office is now investigating, according to El Occidental.
