Over a dozen fight fans flying home from a Las Vegas boxing match are feared to have died in a plane crash after the wreckage of their private jet was discovered in Mexico on Monday.

The remains of the Challenger business jet — carrying 11 passengers and three crew members — vanished Sunday evening en route to Monterrey in northern Mexico and was discovered Monday via aerial surveillance, a state government official said.

Officials haven’t yet been able to inspect the crash site in the border state of Coahuila because the area is mountainous and difficult to access, said Fernando Orta of the state’s emergency services department.

Local outlets said there were no survivors.

The passengers had been in Vegas to watch Saturday night’s bout between Mexican champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez and Brooklyn pugilist Daniel “Miracle Man” Jacobs at the T-Mobile Arena, according to local media.

Alvarez beat Jacobs by unanimous decision in the middleweight title fight.
