Several days ago we were made aware of the terrible news that former two weight world champion Graciano Rocchigiani has died following a dreadful auto accident whilst vacationing in Catania, Sicily.. It’s unclear whether Graciano was a passenger in the vehicle of was struck whilst walking.. Rocchigiani held titles at both Super-Middleweight and light heavyweight. In 2003 Rocchigiani sued the WBC for misrepresentation as their champion and received an out of court settlement in the region of $30 Million. Graciano was brother of fellow world champion Ralph and continued in the sport as both a trainer and ringside commentator.. Graciano’s ring record was 41-6-1 (19 Ko’s) he was 53 years old.
