ALEX AROY DIES AFTER FIGHT

Alex Aroy.

Promising light flyweight Alex Aroy has died following a ten round bout against Arnel Tadena in Villaba, Leyte Monday night.

A sketchy report from Aroy?s manager Rex ?Wakee? Salud said the fighter died on his way to a hospital after he collapsed and complained of being unable to urinate.

Viva Sports/Manila Standard Today checked with GAB boxing division chief Dr. Nasser Cruz who didn't know about Aroy's death.

Salud said Aroy wasn?t hurt during the fight and there was no indication of the cause of death.

Aroy had a record of 12-5-2 with 6 knockouts while Tadena had a record of 7-3-2 with 4 knockouts.
