Former undisputed middleweight world champion 'Marvelous' Marvin Hagler has died at the age of 66.

The American dominated the middleweight division from 1979 until his controversial defeat by Sugar Ray Leonard in April 1987.

BBC Sports reports Hagler took part in 67 fights during his 14-year professional career.

He won 62 of those, 52 by knockout, while he drew two and lost three times.

Hagler made 12 successful title defences and famously won the classic fight known as 'The War', when he beat Thomas 'Hit Man' Hearns in April 1985.
