A better fighter than given credit for and a former European champion and if I am not mistaken - a 1980 olympian! Frank Bruno stated in his many autobiographies that Anders was a total gentleman - RIP big man.

It was something heart related. Both his brothers died before 50 of heart troubles as did his dad.
