Corrie “The Sniper” Sanders!
Cornelius Johannes “Corrie” Sanders (7 January 1966 – 23 September 2012) was a South African professional boxer who competed from 1989 to 2008. He won the WBO heavyweight title in 2003 after knocking out Wladimir Klitschko in two rounds, which was considered one of the biggest upsets in heavyweight boxing history; The Ring magazine named it the Upset of the Year. In 2004, having vacated the WBO title, Sanders faced Wladimir’s brother Vitali Klitschko in an unsuccessful but valiant challenge for the vacant WBC and Ring heavyweight titles. He also held the WBU heavyweight title from 1997 until 2000. Sanders’ other notable achievements include holding the South Africa national heavyweight title in 1991, defeating former cruiserweight champions Carlos de León and Bobby Czyz by first round and second-round knockout respectively, and losing in a close slugfest fight with future unified and two-time world heavyweight champion Hasim Rahman (Rahman and Sanders both knocked each other down during the bout, and Sanders was ahead on the judges’ scorecards prior to the stoppage).
Nicknamed The Sniper, Sanders was a southpaw with a long reach, and was known for carrying formidable knockout power in his straight left hand.[1] Wladimir Klitschko labeled Sanders the hardest puncher he ever faced in a December 2014 interview with Ring magazine, saying: “I’ve been in boxing for 25 years and I never fought anybody in this game that punched like Corrie Sanders.”[2] Hasim Rahman said of Sanders following their match: “I’ve never been hit that hard in my life.”[3]
He died in a hospital in the early hours of 23 September 2012[4] after being shot during an armed robbery.[5][6]
Sanders grew up in Brits, South Africa, and was of Afrikaner descent. Having been introduced to boxing by his uncle, Sanders finished his amateur career in the late 1980s with 180 wins and 11 losses.[7]
Sanders made his professional debut in 1989 with a first-round knockout of King Kong Dyubele on 2 April 1989. He went on to win his next 22 bouts, 14 by knockout. Among the fighters he defeated during that streak were Steve Zouski, Art Card, future WBO cruiserweight champion Johnny Nelson, and future world title challenger Bert Cooper. In his 24th bout, on 21 May 1994, Sanders suffered his first defeat, at the hands of Nate Tubbs via a second-round knockout.
He fought 12 more times over the next five years, including a first-round knockout over former world cruiserweight champion Carlos De León and a second-round knockout over another former world champion, Bobby Czyz. A stoppage loss to future heavyweight champion Hasim Rahman in a bout Sanders was winning confirmed his ability and also his vulnerability. Returning to the ring in 2001 he scored a quick win over Michael Sprott and then followed this up with a defeat of Otis Tisdale in 2002. Corrie Sanders’ biggest weapons were his southpaw fast hands that he used to knock fighters out early.
Despite the fact that he had fought only three rounds in the last two years, the WBO sanctioned a challenge to their heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko. On 8 March 2003, Sanders provided a stunning upset in Hanover, Germany, by dropping Klitschko four times to snatch the Ukrainian’s belt by a second-round knockout.
Sanders vacated the WBO title in December 2003 so that he could concentrate on a challenge for the vacant WBC belt. The fight took place on 24 April 2004, against Wladimir’s older brother, Vitali. Sanders was stopped by Vitali in the eighth round of the fight in the Staples Center in Los Angeles. After Sanders death, Vitali went on to pay his respects to Sanders by calling this the hardest fight of his career.
Eight months later, Sanders knocked out Alexei Varakin in the second round of a contest in Soelden, Austria in December 2004. He briefly retired after that bout.
Sanders returned to action after two years in November 2006 to score a second round stoppage win over the Australian heavyweight champion Colin Wilson at the Convention Centre in Mafikeng. He had signed with Golden Gloves Promotions, and won another bout in South Africa against Brazilian Daniel Bispo in May 2007. His last bout, of the South African heavyweight title, was a loss to Osborne Machimana, a bout he took despite being injured beforehand. Sanders’ final record was 42 wins (31 by knockout) and 4 losses.

Staraj sie skomponowac swoj jadlospis w ten sposob, by skladal sie on z 5-6 posilkow spozywanych w regularnych odstepach. Wazne jest, by plan odzywiania traktowac priorytetowo, a nie jedynie fakultatywnie. Pominiety posilek moze bowiem sprawic, ze nadmierny apetyt wroci ze zdwojona sila razenia. W takiej sytuacji, majac na uwadze zmniejszenie laknienia, najczesciej siegamy po slodka przekaske, ktora ma ukoic nadmierny apetyt. To oczywiscie najgorsze z mozliwych rozwiazan, bo takie przekaski to zwykle bomby kaloryczne. Pyszne sposoby walki z glodem dzialaja krotkotrwale, a chec na jedzenie wroci szybciej niz przypuszczasz. Jednak regularnosc w spozywaniu posilkow to tylko czesc sukcesu. Liczy sie nie tylko czestotliwosc, ale rowniez jakosc tego, co wrzucasz do garnka. Zadbaj o to, by posilki na Twoim talerzu zapewnialy przede wszystkim porcje weglowodanow zlozonych, bialka, blonnika i witamin. Take zbilansowane posilki dostarczane na czas i pod wskazany przez Ciebie adres oferuje catering dietetyczny Master Dieta. Nasza pudelkowa dieta pozwoli Ci zwalczyc ciagle uczucie glodu dzieki pieciu swiezym i doskonale zbilansowanym daniom. Pelnowartosciowe skladniki pochodzace od sprawdzonych dostawcow gwarantuja, ze wkrotce zapomnisz, czym jest uczucie glodu po jedzeniu. Cristal Nicholas Carolynne
