British middleweight Nick Blackwell has begun thanking the many fans and fellow boxers who have supported him during the most brutal battle of his life.
The 25 year-old was put in a coma for six days following his brutal defeat to Chris Eubank Jr on March 26 in London after suffering a bleed on his brain.
Sterling work by doctors at ringside and the medical procedures now in place gave Blackwell every chance of making a full recovery. The Trowbridge man seems to be on his way back to total health.
In his first tweets in under a month, Blackwell said: “Want to say a massive thank you for all the support and messages. (It) means the world to me.
“I’m on the mend now, so I’ve been very lucky.

“This has shown how many good people I’ve got around me. I’m truly blessed for that. I’m just so happy that I’m nearly back to myself.
“We take the smallest things for granted until we can’t do them! Health is our wealth. It’s so so true! Big love to everyone.”
