Corrie had an emergency operation, but doctors couldn't save him. Trainer Harold Volbrecht has also confirmed the dreadful news.

Corrie was just 47. His 2003 KO of Wladimir Klitschko ranks as one of the greatest upsets in heavyweight boxing history. RIP "Sniper".

Dreadful to hear about death of Corrie Sanders, ex WBO heavyweight champion. Supreme talent taken too early. Rest easy, big man.

This is utterly horrible news.

RIP Champ.

Damn.

That's awful to hear.

[T.Horton]

His KO of Wlad ranks up there with one of the more brutal of recent times and also the funniest. Two rounds of mayhem!

[mrpain81]

His fight against Rahman is one of the most underrated Heavyweight fights ever.

This sucks.

R.I.P

Damn, that's so sad to hear. We all have to die, but its really sad when someones life is taken like that. I'll always remember him for his very spirited fights with the Klitschko's, during a time when he was on his way out of boxing. His KO over Wladamir is and always will be one of my favorite fights to watch. He was so excited and looked so surprised when Wlad first went down. My prayers go out to his family and loved ones. RIP Corrie.
