    Multiple sources at multiple sites have confirmed.

    RIP Manny. Loved what work I got to do with ya. Loved how great boxing mind you had.

    Will admire endlessly what you brought to this game. It will NEVER be the same without you.

    Ugh. Now I'm going to go drink. This ruined my day.

    The guy ive been speaking to reckons he has a very good source in the Klitchko camp and also a matchmaker. He said the family are still denying it but are waiting to make an official statement but the sources are telling him its true

    We all felt like we knew him because he was always there through the years in the corners, but you really did know him. Tough break for you mate. Condolences to his family and friends

    ALIVE AGAIN!!!!

    http://www.freep.com/article/20121025/SPORTS18/121025036/?odyssey=tab|mostpopular|text|FEATURES02

    Minutes old.




    The family of Emanuel Steward, the Godfather of Detroit boxing, has asked for prayers and comfort as the 68-year-old boxing icon recuperates from surgery.

    "At this point, I'm asking EVERYBODY to LEAVE US ALONE so that we can comfort and communicate with Emanuel," Steward's sister Diane Steward-Jones emailed to the Free Press today. "His surgical team just dropped by and scoffed at the reports he is dead."

    Citing friends of Steward, the Free Press incorrectly reported earlier today that Steward was dead. The Free Press regrets the error, and we apologize to the Steward family.
