Green v Briggs. Expected fireworks didn't get a spark

[ono]

Just for your info, Paul Briggs retired because of a serious nerve disorder, he tried to make a comeback last year and training was going well but his first sparring session saw him collapse and have a panic attack in the ring the first time he was hit. I worried that when this fight was made that Paul would not have fully recovered, he is obviously broke and thought he might be able to blag it, I don't think there was any fix and I think Paul had never recovered and should never have been in the ring, sometimes the temptation for money can be too strong.

Nerve disorder...are we talking mental or physical? Coz he passed all medicals. I have never heard that story and im surprised if it is such common knowledge why it hasnt turned up in the press in the build up to the fight or after it.

WORLD-ranked Australian boxer Paul Briggs is eyeing a world title fight next year after overcoming a traumatic health scare which he thought had ended his career.

Briggs, who lost two memorable WBC light heavyweight title fights to Poland's Tomasz Adamek on majority points decision, yesterday resumed boxing sessions for the first time in two months.

The Sydney-based 32-year-old, who hasn't fought since February, today revealed the ordeal he went through when experiencing worrying symptoms throughout this year.

Briggs said all but one of the symptoms resembled a brain tumor and the emotional turmoil while trying to diagnose his problem had also imposed a lot of stress on his family....
