LondonRingRules Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 --- Sad to hear after they announced in South Africa that a movie was going to be made of his career. Maybe Boz does a profile. https://fightnews.com/former-champ-gerrie-coetzee-passes/142854 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonRingRules Posted January 13 Author Share Posted January 13 --- The announcement of his movie bio may have been his last public appearance only a few months ago. Would not have recognized him on the street such are the ravages of advanced cancer, but he still looks like he could KO a Bear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonRingRules Posted January 13 Author Share Posted January 13 --- Here's a Ring article by their SAfrican correspondent Droeks Malan. Pretty incredible for an exotic fighter almost unknown to most current boxing fans. https://www.ringtv.com/648604-south-african-boxing-mourns-ex-wba-heavyweight-champ-gerrie-coetzee/ 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoztheMadman Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 A very talented fighter who got a bit unlucky to lose his world title like he did. All due respect, RIP Gerrie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
