BREAKING: Erik Morales’ Mother Passes Away
Boxing legend Erik Morales has lost his mother.
Morales took to his Twitter account to reveal the passing of his mother, Isabel Rocio Elvira Banderas. Here is what Morales had to say.

“With much pain, I share with you that my mother passed away tonight.”
The official Twitter account of the Parliamentary Group of MORENA responded to the death of Morales’ mother.
Nuestras profundas condolencias para los familiares y seres queridos de nuestro compañero @terrible100 por la pérdida de su señora madre.
Descanse en paz. pic.twitter.com/LnBu3bO467— Tus Diputados Morena (@DiputadosMorena) April 2, 2021
“Our deepest condolences to our partner’s family and loved ones of Erik Morales for the loss of his mother.
Rest in peace.”
WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman also made sure to let Morales know that he’s thinking about him during this tough time.
Mi más sentido pésame.

“My deepest condolences.”
Morales had been linked to a July 16 exhibition showdown with his former rival Marco Antonio Barrera. Fight fans were confused when it was quickly announced that Barrera would instead face Jesus Soto Karass on June 11. There’s no word on whether or not the passing of Morales’ mother put a halt to the planned Barrera bout.
We at FIGHT SPORTS send our condolences to Erik Morales and the loved ones of his mother.
