Found this rather sad story on-line from a reliable Zimbabwean newspaper....

https://www.thestandard.co.zw/2011/10/0 ... issed-us1m

Sounds as if Proud made lot's of wrong choices and at precisely the wrong time, including putting his faith in a quack doctor rather than going to a proper hospital and getting professional support.

Histtory did not work for proud either...the chance to live, train and fight in South Africa might have seen a different outcome.

Was he the African fighter who died in the shower - or fell through the door or something?

I have a very vague memory of someone dying relatively young that way about 10-15 years ago.
