Gawie de Klerk

Gawie de Klerk (1956-1961)

Born - Pretoria, South Africa

20(14)-6-0

de Klerk was a South African slugger that had difficulty beyond his hometown market. Although he was relatively succesful in Johannesburg, his only trip out of Africa ended in a fifth round TKO to Henry Cooper for the Commonwealth Heavyweight Title in 1959.


As always, pictures or comments are welcome.

Thanks for the information on Laing Jofre! That sounds like a horific end.
