Boxer Convicted of Murder.

Former heavyweight fighter Jo-El Scott has been found guilty of murder and is facing a life sentence without the possibility of parole. A jury in New York found sufficient evidence in Scott’s case in which he was charged with the rape and murder of an elderly woman. Scott’s time in the professional heavyweight ranks saw him rack up a final tally of twenty wins against two losses with nineteen knockouts. He will be officially sentenced in March.

This is not the only heinous crime shadowing the boxing world. A murder case is still pending against former super middleweight contender James Butler is alleged to have murdered Sam Kellerman, brother of former Friday night fights analyst Max Kellerman.
