I'm pleased to share news that Nick Blackwell has awoken from his induced coma and has been talking with family and friends. Source: BBC News
Good news. When I met him at Manchester Arena for the Saunders v Lee fight, he was such a nice humble down to earth bloke, who had time for everyone in the venue. I really hope he can make a career for himself away from boxing, maybe in Personal Training or something, Will be interesting to see if his brother Dan continues with the sport, after what has happened.
I'd imagine he'd split his time between personal training, modelling and perhaps punditry. Great news for Nick and his family plus the Eubanks.
It was precautionary medically induced coma, nothing serious. The blood was on the skull not on the brain, BIG difference. All that crying and donating, for medical standard procedure. Glad the boy is well, hopefully he can get back in the ring soon and don't have to find another career.
great news and god bless him true fighting man wish him all the best in whatever he chooses to do now, good luck to him
I could be wrong but Its a cert Nick Blackewell will be retiring from boxing. great news today when I saw the picture of him in hospital awake. Soon be home in no time
