Menwhile another former Heavyweight title holder and amateur and professional rivel of Greg Page, Tony Tubbs continued his comeback today at Nashville's Municipal Auditorium with a 6 round unanimous decision over veteran Danny Wofford.

Damn.. Ive spoke with Greg several times and found him to be witty & friendly fella. His physical condtion is very bad & makes him susceptible to this kind of thing. I hope he can get fitter & stronger so he can start to improve & recover.

How did you manage to speak to him, have you met him?. I really hope he gets better soon but this looks worrying. Greg was one of the best Heavies in the 80s and another who never really fulfilled his true potential sadly, which I'm sure had a lot to do with how he was treated by King!.

wish you better Greg, ive had numeorous email conversations with him, he seems genuinely pleased to have some fans who remember his better days from over the pond.

hope he recovers, its not like he and his family havnt had enough shit in his life to deal with. poor fella.

I am sad to pass on the news that Greg Page's condition has worsened slightly since he was admitted into hospital last week with pneumonia and various complications.

Page was in serious condition in Jewish Hospital's intensive care unit Monday morning, said Julie Ice, spokeswoman for the hospital. Mr Greg Page, was in fair condition since he was transferred to the ICU on Thursday. Ice said called the development a ``slight downgrade'' in his condition.

His wife, Patricia Love-Page, said in a interview Monday morning that Page was "resting comfortably".

UPDATE

Greg Page the former WBA Heavyweight Title holder has been upgraded to fair condition, although he remains on a ventilator in intensive care it has been reported.

The hospital said Wednesday 9th March, that Page's condition is slowly improving and he is resting comfortably.

His wife, Mrs Love-Page, said in a written statement that the boxer continues to improve.

"He is alert and responsive when I speak to him, and we are keeping him on the ventilator to help him rest easier''

That looks like good news!.... good luck too him.

Best wishes for the man.

lets hope he continues to improve, keep fighting greg!

UPDATE

A quote from yesterday, the former Champ seems to be slowly getting better, which is of course great news.

Patricia Love-Page - "I am happy to say Greg is making progress, Since he was removed from the ventilator last week, he has been in good spirits. He remains focused on getting better.''
