JOEY LAMOTTA 1925–2020

[Ulitzer95]

Hi there,

Wanted to bring this to the attention of this Community.

Joey LaMotta, Middleweight boxer and brother/manager of Jake LaMotta, died on 29th December 2020, aged 95.

The source is his longtime carer/companion Stephen in the comments section here:

On the main BoxRec site, Joey LaMotta's profile erroneously states that he died in 1991?? This is not the case.

LaMotta was present at his brother Jake's funeral several years ago. He was portrayed by Joe Pesci in the film Raging Bull. I imagine press coverage may eventually follow, but it doesn't seem to have been picked up anywhere as of yet other than the odd tweet or Facebook post acknowledging it.

RIP.

Thanks, it has been corrected.
