MANAGUA, Nicaragua (AP) — Managua Mayor Alexis Arguello, a three-time world boxing champion, has been found dead.

Presidential spokeswoman Rosario Murillo confirms the death.

His Sandinista party's Radio Ya says coroners are conducting an autopsy to determine the cause of death.

Arguello once fought against the Sandinistas in the 1980s, but joined the party to win election as mayor of the capital in 2008.

Born in 1952, the Hall of Fame boxer was known as "The Explosive Thin Man" in the ring.
