    Corrie had an emergency operation, but doctors couldn't save him. Trainer Harold Volbrecht has also confirmed the dreadful news.

    Ex-manager Vernon Smith just chatted to Corrie's ex-wife, who says gang stormed restaurant where Corrie was attending a party.

    Yes, outside a restaurant in Brits “@Boxing_RSA: @ClintonV clinton was it a robbery”

    Corrie was just 47. His 2003 KO of Wladimir Klitschko ranks as one of the greatest upsets in heavyweight boxing history. RIP "Sniper".

    @SportswaveAndre Shot in an armed robbery near Brits. Fought hard, but died in hospital.

    Dreadful to hear about death of Corrie Sanders, ex WBO heavyweight champion. Supreme talent taken too early. Rest easy, big man.

    This guy is a champion and a very nice person.

    I actually like Sanders and each time I link videos of him knocking out Wladimir, it is no disrespect to Wladimir who is great great champion.

    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 **** about this guy and they are probably clapping their hands in joy at the news of this. Sick ****ing fan base Vitali have.


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

    R.I.P Corrie, and thanks for doing us the favor of knocking that fraud Wladimira senseless. You deserve a spot in Heaven off that alone.
