    Reports on Twitter that he’s been in a motorcycle accident pretty serious. He’s going to be okay but going to have to learn to walk again.

    I really don’t like him as an announcer (annoyingly was only calling him at the weekend) but wouldn’t wish this on anyone.

    In a best case scenario he already has enough money to live off, makes a complete and healthy recovery but Hearn’s temporary replacement ends up being much better and he doesn’t get back on telly.

    Sounds like a horrendous injury. Good luck David.

    Hope for a speedy recovery for him, whatever we think of his work.

    Shocking news, hopefully he can make a full recovery.

    I’d be shocked if he walks again to be honest. It should become apparent within a couple of weeks as his body comes out of spinal shock, what the prognosis is. But spinal injuries don’t mess around unfortunately.

    Not a fan of his work but I hope he recovers. Not even joking but I wonder if his hair got loose and got caught in a wheel or something. He wouldn’t be the first.

    I've been told that he was trying to light a cigar while travelling at speed.
