Pretoria - Former SA heavyweight boxing champion Corrie Sanders has been shot and killed during an armed robbery at a restaurant near Brits.
Rapport reported that Sanders was shot in the stomach and later died of his injuries.

"Kallie Kriel of AfriForum happened to be at the Thatch Haven restaurant at the same time and told how his son came running to tell him that shots had been fired.

Kriel found Sanders lying outside on the ground.

Kriel said the robbers had apparently stolen wallets and cellphones from revellers at a 21st birthday party.

A police spokesperson confirmed the robbery and said a man had been shot."

The seen has a quote some guy saying that he didn't try any heroics or anything. Just was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Another website says that the birthday party he was attending was his nephew's 21st birth day party.... sad shit.

An under trained, 40 year old Sanders also had Vitali on the ropes in the first 2 rounds and a younger Sanders give anyone trouble if fully motivated.


Vitali fans LOVE talking shit about this guy and they are probably clapping their hands in joy at the news of this. Sick fucking fan base Vitali have.


This just make me hate Vitali, because he was a total asshole to Corrie after the Wladimir fight.

Completely inappropriate and, I expect, based on absolutely nothing but your own personal vendetta
