He died of the injuries sustained in a boxing fight at the Orleans Hotel and Casino in Clark County, Nevada. Sánchez died one day following his 9th round knockout loss to Rustam Nugaev.
Sánchez had left the ring under his own power after being examined by the ringside doctor.
He was also examined in his dressing room by a second doctor.
