IBO cruiserweight champion Danny Green may still have a career in the ring after all after life-saving surgery to remove an abscess in his appendix late last year. Doctors have advised "The Green Machine" to see how his body holds up, before making a final decision.
The 37 year-old former world light-heavyweight champion is currently spreading the word about a boxing show his company The Green Machine Promotions are putting on and was uncertain when questioned about his possible boxing future.
“I honestly don’t know the immediate future of my boxing career,” Green told Perthnow.com.
“I've just got to wait and see how my body holds up, the desire to fight is there, but I really don't know whether I am able to.
“I've only just started putting a bit of weight on so hopefully it won't be too long (until) I can get back in there and start the ball rolling again.”
Green (31-3, 27 KO’s) has impressed everyone with the courage he has shown and the speed of his recover, after being close to losing his life after being mistakenly turned away from the first hospital he visited when he knew something was wrong.
Fortunately for him, doctors eventually found the abscess, which was reportedly the size of a cricket ball and removed it, with many people believing he would never again step foot in a boxing ring, Green himself though, is taking one day at a time.
“Doctors are always going to say ... it doesn't matter whether it's my toe, stomach or brain, they're going to say 'mate, give it away,” explained Green.
“They've advised me to just see how I feel and really the ball is in my court. I'm not going to make any stupid decisions.
“If I can go on I'd like to, but if I can't well then I'm a realist. I realise that it wouldn't be easy to just walk away from it, but I'll have to do what my body's telling me to do.
