28-year-old Gerrie Coetzee became the first South African to gain a piece of the world heavyweight title when knocked out previously undefeated Michael Dokes at the Richfield Coliseum in Richfield, Ohio in 1983 to capture the WBA heavyweight championship.

28-year-old Gerrie Coetzee became the first South African to gain a piece of the world heavyweight title when knocked out previously undefeated Michael Dokes at the Richfield Coliseum in Richfield, Ohio in 1983 to capture the WBA heavyweight championship.

In his two previous WBA title shots, Coetzee was beaten by John Tate and Mike Weaver.

Coetzee, who moved to the United States in 1982 and had applied for residency here, said he would not defend his title in his homeland, where the policy of apartheid – separation of races – has led to that country's isolation in most international sporting events. "I'm coming back to America," he told the New York Times. "I'm going to defend my title where I won this title."

Coetzee, who has been a clear spokesman against apartheid, said that when he returned home he would "continue working to help people get together."

He had said he wanted to be a "people's champion," and tonight he expressed thanks to the American people, "and especially the American black people, and especially the American black people in the gyms."

25-year-old Dokes later told Sports Illustrated that he trained for the fight on Jack Daniel's and co***ne.

'Do you know that before Joe hit me I had never been hurt? No sir, in 12 years of fighting no man had ever actually hurt me. Shaken me up sure, and stunned me. But Louis hurt. Hurt awful. Every time he hit me, even with those short jabs, I wanted to reach up and rub myself, because I felt he had left great big lumps. He hit me harder than all the guys I ever fought put together.'
