    Former junior middleweight world title boxing contender Troy Waters has died following a long battle with leukemia, his family said Friday. He was 53.

    One of three boxing brothers -- the others were Guy and Dean, who each won national titles and fought internationally -- Waters was one of Australia's most successful fighters in the 1980s and 1990s.

    He unsuccessfully challenged for a world title three times. He was outpointed by Italy's IBF world champion Gianfranco Rosi in 1989.
