- "...Gavilan discovered that life after boxing was not easy. In the late 1950s he moved back to his homeland, anticipating a comfortable retirement. Instead, the Cuban government confiscated his 39-acre ranch, and the former fighter was effectively penniless when he returned to the United States a decade later. ... At the time of his death on February 13, [2003,] Gavilan, who had been married several times, was estranged from his family." [1] Andyvphil (talk) 09:52, 20 November 2015 (UTC)
