Gerhardus Christian Coetzee (born 8 April 1955 in Boksburg) is a South African former boxer. He was the first boxer from the African continent ever to fight for and win a world heavyweight title holding the WBA version of the championship between September 1983 and December 1984. His nickname was The Bionic Hand because he always had trouble with his right hand and had a few corrective items put in it during three surgeries.
