The 29-year-old Californian, who died last night, will be remembered for his epic win against Jose Luis Castillo two years ago when he dragged himself off the canvas to force a thrilling stoppage victory.

Corrales, who held world titles at super-featherweight and lightweight, lost his rematch with Castillo and his next two fights against Joel Casamayor, in 2006, and Joshua Clottey last month.

His record was 40 wins (33 knockouts) and five defeats.

Promoter Gary Shaw said: "I am proud to have promoted one of the true warriors of the game.

"My heart goes out to his wife and kids. Boxing has lost one of the most exciting fighters in the ring."
