	Gerrie Coetzee - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gerhardus Christian Coetzee (born August 4, 1955 in Boksburg), better known as Gerrie Coetzee, is a South African former boxer.
		Coetzee became the first African Heavyweight ever to challenge for a world title, but his dream of becoming the first African world Heavyweight champion had to wait, because he was beaten by Tate by a decision in 15 rounds.
		Undaunted, Coetzee went back to boxing soon and beat fringe contender George Chaplin before facing with Renaldo Snipes, a man who later would be seconds away from becoming world champion when he dropped Larry Holmes in a title challenge.

		Gerrie was back on September 7th 1985, in Johannesburg, against James "Quick" Tillis who was the recipient of a Coetzee defeat losing a ten round unanimous decision to the iron fist.

		The main reason being that he is the nephew of former WBA heavyweight world champion, Gerrie Coetzee (33 W 6 L 1 D 20 KO’s).
		Coetzee, for all his natural talent and ability, was not fond of roadwork or training in general.
		Although ahead on the scorecard going into round 13, Coetzee had nothing left in his tank and when Weaver caught him flush on the jaw, he didn’t need much motivation to find a resting place on the canvas.
