It's being reported that Gert Strydom, trainer of IBF junior lightweight champion Malcolm Klassen, was stabbed thirteen times by a gang of robbers near his home on Sunday. He remains in serious condition at the Flora Clinic in Johannesburg, South Africa. Strydom's friend, promoter Branco Milenkovic, described his condition as critical to SAPA, following a visit to the hospital.
"I spoke briefly to him, but the doctors chased me away in less than half a minute," Milenkovic said.
