Indonesian boxer Heru Purwanto, better known as Hero Tito, has unfortunately passed away on March 7, after falling into a coma following the loss by knockout to James Mokoginta on February 27.

Hero Tito was 35 and is survived by his wife Wijayanti, and two daughters aged 13 and five.

Tito lost consciousness after receiving a powerful uppercut from James Mokoginta in the seventh round of a fight at the Holywings Club in Jakarta.

He tried to recover to his feet, but fell back down again, unconscious. The fight was a rematch of their 2015 fight, which Tito had won by decision.

The late fighter turned professional in 2004 and moved professionally throughout the Eastern Hemisphere, traveling wherever a fight arose.

Among the names he has fought are Ik Yang, against whom he lost a majority decision on the Manny Pacquiao-Brandon Rios undercard in Macau, Will Tomlinson and Jamshidbek Najmitdinov.

Was Hero Tito Married?
Hero Tito was married to his wife Wijayanti, and together they had two daughters aged 13 and five. Not much information is revealed about her.

As tragic as Hero Tito’s death is, it’s fairly considered part of the sport, and this is not the first case of a fighter either dying after a match or in the ring.

Last year, Mexican boxer Jeannette Zacarias was defeated by knockout in the fourth round and when she got to her corner she started convulsing, so she was taken to the hospital, where she eventually ended up losing her life.

Korean boxer Duk Koo-Kim faced Ray Mancini at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, where he was defeated by KO in episode 14. The South Korean native immediately fell into a coma and, after four days, died at Desert Springs Hospital.
