I remember him and the fight with Spinks. I’ve been to two scandanavian countries and his name is well known in both especially his home country of Norway. RIP

I'm sorry for his late suffering, he was only five years older than me. Farewell, Steffen.

I get your point but I don't know if I would call that late suffering, the onset was years prior which I consider still vibrant years.

You're correct, my bad. I got wrong after quickly reading "2019", which was the amputation year, not the beginning of his problems.
