Murdered boxer propped up in the ring at his wake

 

This is creepy....... No, actually super creepy!

23 year old Puerto Rican boxer Christopher Rivera Amaro was shot dead on January 26 in the Puerto Rican city of Santurce and his family decided to prop up his corpse in a simulated ring.

Hundreds of mourners who came to his wake in San Juan on Friday 31st found him posed in the ring, a yellow hood on his head, sunglasses glasses over his eyes and blue boxing gloves on his hands.

His family said they want people to remember him as a boxer and not a victim of gun violence.

He is survived by a wife and son, as well as his mother.

Rivera had a 5-15 record and one draw in the 130-pound weight class. No one has been arrested in connection with his murder.
