Vernon Forrest Murdered!

Tweet

“The Viper” is dead. The former welterweight and junior middleweight champion was killed Saturday night (Sunday morning PH Time) in a reported carjacking attempt. Vernon chased the two men who tried to steal his Jaguar. A firefight ensued leaving the two-time champion wounded. His wounds were so serious that he died shortly thereafter. Vernon (41-3, 29 Kos) will be remembered for his two victories over reigning welterweight champion Sugar Shane Mosley. Rest in peace champ!
