Former WBC light heavyweight champion Adonis Stevenson continues the tough road to recovery. On December 1 in Canada, he was brutally knocked out by mandatory challenger Oleksandr Gvozdyk.

After the fight, Stevenson began to have physical issues and felt very dizzy in his dressing room. He was taken to the hospital and it was discovered that he suffered a severe brain bleed.

He was placed in a medically induced coma to relieve the swelling.

It was several weeks before Stevenson regained consciousness.

Stevenson's fiancee, Simone God, has now revealed that he's taken his first steps.
