Boxer Travell Mazion, 24, Killed In Austin Car Collision

AUSTIN, TX — Undefeated boxing star Travell Mazion, whose nickname was "Black Magic," was killed Wednesday in a car crash in Austin, according to reports. He was 24 years old.

Golden Boy Promotions confirmed the death, issuing a statement expressing their sadness at the young pugilist's passing. Mazion was a standout among the stable of fighters at Oscar de la Hoya-owned Golden Boy, with an undefeated 17-0 professional record and electrifying style of fighting.

"We at Golden Boy are deeply saddened by the tragic passing of @black_magic92," Golden Boy Promotions wrote on Twitter. "He was a kind, charismatic young man who lit up every room he walked into and brought excitement to fans inside the ring. We send our heartfelt prayers and thoughts to his family. May he R.I.P."

Mazion's last bout at the San Antonio-based Alamodome on Jan. 11 dramatically illustrated the power of Mazion's left hook. It took the young fighter all of 58 seconds to vanquish opponent Fernando Castañeda, the 31-year-old Mexican boxer, with a vicious body punch in maintaining his undefeated record. Mazion earned the WBC-NABF super-welterweight title in the process.

Mazion had debuted professionally in similarly decisive style on April 27, 2013, when he scored a first-round technical knockout (TKO) over Ricky Young at the Frank Erwin Center in Austin.

While not identifying the 154-pound welterweight by name at the time of the crash, Austin-Travis County EMS medics reported on the crash on Wednesday, writing on Twitter the pin-in collision involved multiple vehicles along the 18000 block of FM 1431 just outside Leander, Texas.

Two others were injured in the wreck before being transported to Round Rock Medical Center with potentially life-threatening injuries and critical life-threatening injuries.

Patch will update when more details are known.
