Ex-boxing champ Sekowitsch found dead
August 26, 2008 - 7:12PM
Former world and European boxing champion Edip Sekowitsch has been found stabbed to death in front of the cafe he owned in Vienna.
Initial indications suggest the 50-year-old Serbian-born boxer died after being stabbed four times during a fight early Tuesday, police said. A suspect has been arrested.
Sekowitsch, who emigrated to Austria in the early 1980s, became world boxing champion in the light middleweight division in 1988 when he beat Bryan Grant of the United States.
He won the European title the following year.
Nicknamed “the Serbian bull”, Sekowitsch retired from boxing in 2002 and then opened a cafe in Vienna. He was married and had three children.
