    Just heard through facebook that he is in a delicate condition after suffering heart attack. Hope he pulls through OK. There are news sources as well.

    Just heard the same news from America's Retired boxers foundation inc. I'm sorry I put the thread up now but wish Ken all the best recovering from his stroke.
