Angelo Dundee's 'Toughest Fighter,' Wife Helen, Dies at Age 85

Filed under: Boxing Rumors, FanHouse Exclusive

As an 89-year-old dean of boxing trainers, Angelo Dundee has worked with 16 world champions, among them, Muhammad Ali, Sugar Ray Leonard, Carmen Basilio, George Foreman and Willie Pastrano.

But none of them has earned the reputation of his "toughest fighter."

That title belonged to his beloved wife of 58 years, Helen Dundee.

But on Thursday evening, Helen Dundee lost her battle with a long series of illnesses at the Sun Coast Hospice in Palm Harbor, Fla., near their home in Clearwater, according to Angelo Dundee's manager, Mark Grismer.

She was 85.
