    MIA: Daniel Jacobs

    Anyone know what Daniel Jacobs is up to lately?

    After suffering that big KO by Pirog he came back and had two fights and has been away for almost a year since.

      Damnn never knew that...

      In May, Jacobs was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, an aggressive cancer that manifested itself in a quarter-sized tumor, wrapped around his spine, which damaged his nerves and caused partial paralysis in his legs. Rumors swirled that Jacobs was dying.
      ... An MRI revealed a tumor, pinching his spinal nerves, resulting in bilateral paralysis below his naval. A subsequent biopsy revealed that the tumor was cancerous, and growing.
      "It was a shocker," Jacobs said. "I’ve seen a lot in my life and nothing really shocked me, just being where I’m from. But this was unexpected. It just hit me, like, I have cancer? Me?"

            he had a tumor // growth removed from his spine


            crazy, right?

            some things are a hell of a lot more important than boxing.

                It's terrifying how random cancer can be
