Puerto Rican former boxer Hector “Macho” Camacho has died in hospital after being taken off his life support machines, doctors have said.
The three-time world champion was clinically brain dead after being shot in the head in a drive-by shooting near the capital, San Juan, on Tuesday.
Mr Camacho’s mother had earlier asked that his life support be turned off.
The boxer, who was 50, fought some of the great names of boxing during a three-decade career.
They included Oscar de la Hoya, Sugar Ray Leonard and Felix Trinidad.
He was known for his flamboyant style and skill in the ring, but later became known for his troubled personal life and run-ins with the police.
Camacho was shot in the head while sitting in a car outside a bar San Juan.
His friend Adrian Mojica Moreno was killed in the attack, but police say they do not know of any motives for the shooting.
