RIP Manny, really didn't expect to see this so soon. I knew he was ill but I didn't realise just how ill.
RIP Emanuel Steward
I'm just hearing that he has passed away
Richard Towers, who is in Wlad's camp, just put it on twitter as well.
RIP to a legend of the game!

If it is true, R.I.P Mr Steward the game will be worse off without you.
If it is a 'sick prank' I pity the person responsible.

This is the horrible part, waiting for confirmation. Gut has dropped and I've gone cold. I kinda hope this is a sick rumour
Yeah hope we find out sooner rather than later.This is the horrible part, waiting for confirmation. Gut has dropped and I've gone cold. I kinda hope this is a sick rumour

I am in contact with Emanuel Steward's sister who tells me he is still alive and no last rites have been given. They ask for your prayers.

From Wlad Klits FB Page....:
From the official Klitschko fan page on facebook:
Wladimir's statement to the passing away of Emanuel Steward:
Boxing has suffered a tremendous loss with the passing of Emanuel Steward.
Vitali and I, along with the entire Team Klitschko, send our deepest and most heartfelt condolences to Emanuel's family and friends.
It is not often that a person in any line of work gets a chance to work with a legend, well I was privileged enough to work with one for almost a decade.
I will miss our time together. The long talks about boxing, the world, and life itself. Most of all I will miss our friendship.
My team and I will carry on with the goals we had set while Emanuel was with us because that is exactly what Emanuel would have wanted. I know he will be with us in spirit along the way and we will accomplish these goals in his honor.
Rest in peace Emanuel. You will be greatly missed.
Until we meet again my friend.

a link from the scene on twitter about 1 min ago
Legendary boxing trainer Emanuel Steward remains in the care of doctors and is still alive, despite numerous reports of his passing.
I have been in contact with his sister, Diane Steward-Jones, who issued the following statement via text to me at 11:25am Thursday morning:
"You can tell folks that he is alive and being treated by some of the best experts in the world. The Steward family is dismayed and greatly disheartened and disappointed that during this personally challenging time, people would callously and thoughtlessly run wild with untrue statements in order to garner their '15 minutes of fame.'
"Where is the moral compass of those seeking to capitalize on this situation? Does anybody take the time to check out the facts anymore?
"Many of those issuing reckless statements have our phone numbers as well as Emanuel's office number and yet, they haven't called, just issued statements that are terrorizing Emanuel's children, siblings and relatives that aren't able to be here at the hospital.
"SHAME ON THEM! He has feelings and we, his family, have feelings. Consider that and give us our privacy to help our loved ones."
The 68 year-old Steward has been battling an unspecified illness over the past few months and the family has asked for prayers for his recovery.
It was reported late Wednesday on the website of the Detroit Free Press that Steward recently underwent surgery for diverticulosis.
