IBO light heavyweight champion Danny Green, 37-years-old, is recovering in a hospital after having surgery to remove his appendix. "The Green Machine" will need several days to recover from the procedure. Green (31-3, 27KOs) was hospitalized a few days ago when an abscess formed around his appendix. He underwent surgery on Tuesday and is still in a lot of pain.
Green's last fight came on November 17 in Western Australia when he won a twelve round unanimous decision over previously undefeated BJ Flores. Nothing has been discussed regarding his next fight.
