A man holds a memorial card at the funeral for Johnny Tapia in The Pit on Sunday. The memorial service attracted thousands of fans to mourn the boxer’s passing a week after his death was announced. Tapia is a local sports legend who claimed five world championships in three weight classes. However, his personal struggles led to a life of hardships including drug use and attempted suicide. Tapia was declared dead four times due to drug overdoses throughout his life. The cause of his death remains unknown until toxicology and autopsy reports are released.
