It is with a heavy heart that I write tonight that sportscaster, ‘King of Fight’ Eddie Zawadzki is gone. Eddie’s sister, Christine called to tell Canada Free Press (CFP) that Eddie died this morning of a massive heart attack, age 55.
The sad news is bound to be a shock to his many friends in the boxing world, as it was only two days ago when Eddie posted to Facebook a picture of him doing color for a live TV boxing match at Richard Souce's Stockyards Gym, writing: “Featured here is a great boxing champion, dear friend and one of the classiest human beings I have ever met, 1988 Olympic Silver Medalist Egerton Marcus! Souce puts on amazing amateur shows. Next one is October 1st and I’m happy to be part of it.”
