Appears to be fake news. The guy who looks after him posts these regularly, and he posted 3 new ones yesterday. In the comments section he refers to LaMotta in the present. What I will say is it's apparent that LaMotta is in bad health. Looks like the effects of a stroke. Turning 96 this year. Wonder if anyone picked him in the DDP. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surprisingly they're not even talking about him on any of the boxing forums, and there's even been one or two articles about Raging Bull from leading sites out in the last few days. Nothing on Joey's death, simply because I imagine they're all unaware. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
