Boxer Danny Green recovering in Perth hospital after appendix surgery

PERTH - World IBO cruiserweight champion Danny Green was recovering in a hospital in Perth after being rushed there following a near appendix burst.

The Daily Telegraph revealed that Green was raced from a family holiday to the hospital six days ago with severe stomach complaints.

It’s understood the boxer underwent emergency surgery to remove his appendix and a large cyst, with doctors fearing Green would contract septicaemia - which can be fatal - had they burst.

A spokesperson from Green Machine Promotions said the father-of-two was now stable. (ANI)
