Former three-time super bantamweight world champion Israel Vázquez has passed away at the age of 46 following a battle with cancer.
 

Known as "El Magnifico," Vázquez was celebrated for his lightning-fast hands and powerful punches, which earned him a stellar career record of 44 wins, including 32 knockouts.
 

His iconic four-fight rivalry with Rafael Márquez, with two victories each, produced some of the most memorable bouts in boxing history, with their 2007 and 2008 clashes named Fights of the Year.
