Tapia’s tragic early years - his father was killed while he was still in the womb, while his mother was raped and murdered when he was 8. These incidents led to a life of drug addiction. Tapia began boxing at age 9 and became a star in the late 1990s, winning titles including the WBO super flyweight and WBO bantamweight. Later in life his brother-in-law and nephew were killed in a car accident on their way to a hospital to visit Tapia who had suffered a cocaine overdose.
Alcazar also made the doco Tapia who died in May
Shooting on the project will kick off next year.
