Former world boxing champion Jorge “Locomotora” Castro dies at the age of 59, several outlets report. The reported cause of death is a heart attack.
All three sources describe Castro’s prominence in Argentine boxing and highlight his 1994 comeback, including a notable knockout victory over John David Jackson in Mexico. While the Buenos Aires Herald and Buenos Aires Times focus on his career legacy and the significance of the 1994 fight, the Daily Mail also includes detail from an interview with Castro’s daughter, who discusses his final moments and characterizes the death as quick. Across reports, Castro is remembered for his impact on the sport and for overcoming earlier setbacks to return at the world-championship level.
No further medical details or information about surviving family are provided beyond what is included in the accounts, which consistently cite the same age and cause of death.
