Sad news. Hope he's bought a pint and a double chaser in his last chance saloon and manages to come back.

Only spoken to him very briefly in passing a couple of times in the north east - seems like a lovely lad. His dad, Phil, posts on here - a nice fella who is pouring his heart, soul (and cash) into reinvigorating the scene up there.

Hope it works, Jaffa

It's a shame but look after your hands Jaffa you're a young man.

Poor, poor guy, you can't help but feel for him. Just hope whatever route he eventually goes down that things work out for him as he comes across well.

That's hope this last resort works, good luck Tony

Can't see how squirting blood plasma into a faulty hand is going to remedy it I'm afraid.

Shame for him, but long term health and use of his hands is paramount over boxing.

Really hope I'm wrong and it does work.

Nobody will ever take away that Olympic Bronze Medal, a fantastic achievement.

Tony Gutted about it not holding much hope this treatment will work but as to have a go,But his health comes first and thanks for the kind words lads.

Phil, I've just been reading about how they squirt concentrated blood into wounds to aid faster recovery / healing, but I can't see anything on it aiding existing bone/tendon injuries.

I'm glad the treatment is free for him, because when faced with such a dilemma a man can spend his life savings chasing a voodoo cure, even if there is only 1% chance of success.

Good luck what ever happen in tony ye is a top fella and boxer buddy

Would re-iterate everything that has been said here.

Crying shame if thats that for Jaffa.

Seems like a top man. Fingers crossed this treatment works.

From a North East boxing nut we need all the stars we can muster

Im a twitter "friend" of tony and he is an absolutely top bloke with a great sense of humour when i read this I was gutted for him. Really hope this isn't the end for his sake if it is I hope one of the channels give him a job so he can still make a living from Boxing he deserves it.

Get well soon mate

I saddened to hear about Tony Jeffries repeated doses of misfortune with his hands, I hope he is able to have the issue sorted out so he continue to have some involvement within the fight game.

Real shame for Tony.

Seems like a really nice fella.

Hope everything works out for him.

I know it may not mean much but winning a medal at the olympics is one of the biggest/best achievements in any sport whatever happens from now he'll always be considered a success.

Good luck Tony

All the best Jaf

he's had great success as an am & has thrown himself at the pro's sufferd bad cuts etc. & seen mates fight for titles.he's young enough to have this op & take a lentghy lay off as his body is under immense strain & give it one more go.i hope he dont make any rash decisions or dont give this time to heal & ruin his dreams.
