"I have been unable to eat for the last 9 days and am contemplating a return to the featherweight division (jokes)."

Good to keep a sense of humor. Hope he recovers fully. Sounds like he will.

Lets Go B.D. praying for full recovery and for anybody else that's going through this

First his wife, now he's fighting for himself.

Things like these always bring me back to reality after I spend my days silently complaining about what makes me angry.

Thoughts and prayers.

Damn.

Salam al aykum (peace unto you). My friends, I wanted to give you an update on my health.
Results from the tumour removed from my colon two weeks ago are not what I was hoping for.

I have been diagnosed with an aggressive and rare form of non-Hodgkins lymphoma cancer.

I’ve had to dig deep many times in my life before and with the grace of Allah (God), have got through the many struggles before me in the past.

Cancer will be the hardest opponent I’ve faced but I want you to know that I’m fighting harder than I ever have and God willing, I will defeat this awful disease.

The plan is to start chemotherapy as soon as possible and while I know it’s going to be rough, I have to walk this journey as so many others do every single day with the support of their health professionals, family and friends.

In the difficult times, I know I’m not alone. I have Allah (swt), my wife, son, family and all of you beside me. Your prayers, kind words and support all help me when I need inspiration.

I know you will understand that I will be less active on social media to focus on this challenge ahead of me but please know that your messages of support do not go unnoticed or unappreciated.

I promise to give this newest challenge everything I have, with my beautiful family, I have too much to live for to give any less than 100%.

May Allah swt heal all sick people and give patience to those who suffer.

Thank you to everyone who has sent flowers to me and my family; whilst it’s a beautiful gesture, I’d be really happy for you to donate that same amount of money spent on flowers, to a charity of your choice instead.

Love from Billy
