LAS VEGAS (AP) _ A memorial service for boxer Diego (Chico) Corrales will be held Tuesday in Las Vegas.
Corrales, a former lightweight and super featherweight champion, died Monday in a high-speed motorcycle crash near his Las Vegas home. He was 29.
A public viewing will be followed by a funeral Tuesday at Palm Green Valley Mortuary in Las Vegas, according to Fred Sternberg, spokesman for Corrales' promoter.
Corrales died two years to the day after a lightweight title unification victory over Jose Luis Castillo that many boxing writers considered the fight of the year.
Police have blamed speed and rider inexperience for the crash. Blood-alcohol and toxicology tests are pending.
