The 8th Round

This wasn't a very merry Christmas for Greg Page. The former WBA heavyweight champion is still, for the most part, confined to a wheelchair, slurs his speech, and requires extensive physical therapy three times a week. He had received a token amount of financial assistance toward his considerable medical bills from the state of Kentucky, though not nearly enough, and nothing that came easily, until his disability benefits took effect.
His wife Patricia thinks in time he may be able to stand up on his own. How much time, nobody knows.

The 7th Round
