Former world boxing champion Jorge "Roña" Castro died on Wednesday, October 14. Following his passing, media coverage highlighted both his recent personal reflections in television appearances and his historic athletic achievements inside the ring.

Chief among his legacy-defining moments is his memorable December 10, 1994, bout against American boxer John David Jackson. That international contest is remembered for a legendary comeback and a knockout victory widely considered one of the greatest in boxing history.

Prior to his death, Castro had made a notable television appearance on September 16 on Mario Pergolini's program "Otro día perdido," where he shared intimate confessions about his life and career shaped by boxing.
