Clemente "Xicoténcatl" Sánchez (9 July 1947 – 25 December 1978) was a Mexican professional boxer.

Professional career

Sánchez turned professional in 1963 and won the Lineal and WBC featherweight title with a 3rd-round knockout over Kuniaki Shibata in 1972. He lost the title in his first defense by a technical knockout to Jose Legra, but Sanchez had been stripped of his WBC belt after failing to make weight prior to the fight.[1] He retired in 1975.

Death

Sánchez was shot and killed in his home city of Monterrey in a traffic dispute in 1978, by a man who later identified himself to police as Carlos Rodriguez Treviño.[2]
