Editing Gerrie Coetzee (section)

===Post-championship career===
After losing his title, Coetzee made token attempts at a comeback. He beat the former title challenger and at that time mid-level foe [[James "Quick" Tillis]] by a decision in ten. Next was a journey to England to fight the big-punching contender [[Frank Bruno]]. In the offing would be a shot at the WBA title, since won by [[Tim Witherspoon]] (who had defeated Tubbs, who had defeated Page). Coetzee was knocked out in round one. After that fight, he announced his retirement, but came back twice during the 1990s, winning by knockout in three against both [[Dave Fiddler]] and [[West Turner]] in 1993, and then winning against [[Dan Komiscki]] in three. Finally in 1997, Coetzee lost to former world Middleweight and Light Heavyweight champion [[Iran Barkley]] by a knockout in ten, after dropping him in round two, for the WBB Superheavyweight belt.
