    He never was one of the elite, but he will always be an answer to a trivia question regarding Michael Spinks' heavyweight opponents. RIP, our Norwegian friend.

    RIP. A draw with Buster Douglas, wins over faded Joe Bugner and Alfredo Evangelista. 2 x European champ and a tilt at the Heavyweight title. Not too shabby.

    Fighters like Tangstad are what makes the boxing world go round. An honest fighter, who gives his best and make a good showing.
    Not the most naturally gifted fight, but made the most out what God given attributes he had.

    RIP Mr Tangstad.

    Sadly for many years he was affected by neuropathy limiting limb useage, and 5 yrs ago resulting in amputation of his leg,
    Boxing itself was ruled out as causative of this neurological condition.
