Puerto Rican boxing sensation Christopher Rivera Amaro was tragically shot and killed recently. The family wanted to stress the boxing part of his life and the funeral home in San Juan obliged.

The funeral home put Christopher's body in a makeshift ring instead of a casket.  Mourners at Marin Funeral Home came to pay their respects and took photos in the ring with Rivera's body.

We found a news clip of the story in the video below. Unfortunately the report is in Spanish but it more so you can see the video footage from the wake. It should be noted that Judi said she will translate for anyone who wants the full report!
