Travell Mazion

The combat sports world is in a bit of a state of mourning this week, as another athlete has died way before his time. 24-year old boxer Travell Mazion has tragically passed away. With a record of 17-0, with 13 of those wins coming by knockout, there was a good bit of hype surrounding the young prospect Mazion. He seemed to be living up to these expectations as well, winning the WBC-NABF super welterweight title in his last fight earlier this year. This was a contest against Fernando Castañeda, where he won by first round KO. Unfortunately it turns out that this last performance from Travell Mazion would be th final time he would step foot in the squared circle. According to reports, the up and coming fighter tragically died in a car accident outside of Austin, Texas on Wednesday night. The pin-in collision took the life of one other individual, with two others being transported to the hospital with injuries. https://www.instagram.com/p/B7kP61XpAxo/?igshid1baf4ro6s3saz Oscar De La Hoya Reacts To Death Of Travell Mazion Travell "Black Magic" Mazion competed under the Golden Boy mantle.
