Former world champion Billy Dib updates us on his condition from the hospital…
First and foremost I want to thank the Almighty that both Jacob and I are safe. A big thank you to my team beautiful supporters family and sponsors for your love and support last night.
I’m currently in hospital with a dislodged rib that caused 3 separate fractures due to being flipped on the canvas. I’m doing ok and will be back on my feet real soon.
Jacob is a talented young fighter with great potential and I don’t believe there was malicious in his actions last night.
It was a great fight that I believe was only going to get better towards the later rounds as per our game plan.
A huge thank you to the amazing promotional team Ace Boxing Group for giving me an opportunity to fight one of your top prospects and putting on such a great promotion.
Prayers for you Champ…
Painful. That’s all can say. Anything related to the ribs, be it cartilage or and any sort of fracture is debilitating. Your breathing is unbearable..
Almost cry when you know you’re about to sneeze !
His put out some nice words because a rematch will net him some good money and he don’t wanna spoil that.
Main concern for Dib should be to find the way to protect those ribs when he fights from now on. I would suggest a modified trunk with the belt line up to the armpits
Ribs, and the tissue around it can heal funny. The rib near my right armpit, that JCCJR broke, I still feel when I take deep breaths sometimes. Hard to explain. Happy healing champ.
But you looked very happy before the fight.
