The boxer has been warned one more bad knock could kill him[/caption]

The family held a small memory service for George’s adopted mum who died last month.

But as he spoke to pay tribute to her, he became dizzy and collapsed and was taken to hospital to be checked out.

At first the doctor put it down to grief and him not eating properly.

But when the doctor discovered George was an ex boxer, she was intrigued – and ran further tests.

And it wasn’t good news.

She said: “I can see from the scan that we do have some evidence of prior damage – that isn’t surprising for a former boxer.

“The most likely cause would be Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy. It’s a brain condition linked to repeated blows to the head. 

“It can lead to memory problems and other complications but it can only be diagnosed post mortem.”

She went on to explain that there were more recent changes – George’s illegal fights – had caused further issues.

“One more bad knock and this could be fatal,” she warned him.

George was forced to come clean to his family – with Cindy also getting it in the neck for keeping quiet about it too.

He promised there would be no more fighting but after arriving home at the Vic, spotted the organiser who came to pay him his winnings.

And unfortunately for George, Cindy clocked what was going on and was horrified at George appearing to be agreeing to fight again.

But what will she do with the information?
