NEW YORK - Jake LaMotta, an iron-fisted battler who brawled his way to a middleweight title and was later immortalized by Robert De Niro in the film Raging Bull, has died.
He was 95.
The former middleweight champion died on Tuesday at a Miami-area hospital from complications of pneumonia, according to his longtime fiancee, Denise Baker.
