Gustavo Martín Gómez Maidana

Gustavo Martín Gómez Maidana, known as 'Pileta', was an influential figure in Argentine boxing, serving as a close aide to his cousin, world champion Marcos 'Chino' Maidana. With deep roots in the sport, he dedicated his life to promoting boxing, particularly through Chino Maidana Promotions, where he was instrumental in supporting young and emerging boxers. His unexpected passing on August 30, 2023, left a significant impact on the boxing community, prompting the cancellation of a press conference for rising star Fernando 'Puma' Martínez.
