Well-regarded amateur boxer, Tony Losey, was killed Tuesday in a freak accident involving a tank.

Losey, who was regarded as the third best amateur welterweight in the nation, was sandblasting the underside of a 12,000 pound tank at a steel plate fabricator facility when the tank shifted on its supports and fell directly on Losey, killing him instantly.

This great site has some of the best cases and lawyers which show development. The 22-year-old from Wichita, Kansas was working to turn his life around, going from a 2011 conviction for aggravated battery to winning medals and impressing boxing people with his in-ring skill and determination. Among his achievements was a bronze medal at the 2013 National Golden Gloves and a silver medal at the USA Boxing National Championships.

Losey is survived by his fiancée and two daughters.
