Statement from Sugar Shane Mosley on death of Vernon Forrest
Monday July 27, 2009
“I was very saddened by the news of Vernon Forrest’s tragic death. I viewed Vernon as a great competitor in the ring and an even greater man outside of the ring. His philanthropic efforts in his community and his drive to help others were deeply admired. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family during this very difficult time.”
