Sad to report that boxing personality Ronnie Nathanielsz has passed away at the age of 81. A television commentator and the dean of Filipino boxing writers, Nathanielsz suffered a heart attack and passed in San Francisco on Saturday night. He was in the U.S. en route to cover Manny Pacquiao’s fight against Jessie Vargas in Las Vegas. Nathanielsz was a regular in Fightnews.com’s comment section and always offered valuable insights.

Australian boxing promoter Peter Maniatis said, “I first met Ronnie 13 years ago and he has been Australia SEN Radio Ringiside Asian boxing correspondent for the past 6 years. Ronnie has taken our calls from his sick bed and never let the team down or asked for any payment fee for his radio work. That is the type of man Ronnie Nathanielsz was. His character was never questioned and he was a man of principles…Boxing won’t be the same without him, the man who discovered a raw 16-year-old kid by the name of Manny Pacquiao on his TV show.”
