Prichard Colón Legacy and the Rule That Changed Boxing | Minneapolis News
Description
Tragic loss: Puerto Rican boxing legend Prichard Colón, 33, died August 13, 2026, nearly 11 years after a devastating brain injury from illegal blows in a 2015 fight. His death reignites global attention on fighter safety, directly leading to the now-enforced “Prichard Colón Rule” banning rabbit punches. Once an undefeated super welterweight rising star, Colón’s family remains his rock through his long health battle—and they’re inviting fans to honor him at a public visitation August 18 in Winter Park, FL, followed by funeral and burial August 19. The boxing world mourns not just a champion, but a catalyst for change.
