“I'm blessed. To be conscious and alive and all of that,” Williams said. “To know what’s going on. I’ve got a little spine injury, or whatever. But they’re working on that. But to be able to be breathing on my own ... I feel real good and I love the support that I’ve been getting from my fans."

This is good to hear. He will be in my thoughts and I know with some work he will in fact walk again.

thx........I know there might be tough times ahead, but hearing that he can find some comfort in being alive is good to hear. His family and friends will be an important support system for him when he goes back home, sounds like he has some good people around him

He really seems to have an optimistic outlook on things. I'm glad for him to be able to see light at the end of the tunnel.

I don't meaning to sound like a pessimist but I am worried about him. As optimistic as he sounds it isn't shocking in the sense that if you're to the follow the stages of grief it is the first stage where the individual is in denial about what they've experienced or how they're feeling. Just hope pray that his family stay strong and supportive when he goes through anger and depression.



When I think about his medical bills it makes me realise that the commission needs to do more to look after fighters once they have retired. So much money is made from PPV numbers throughout the year, something needs to be put in a collective pot to offer financial support for ex boxers in situations like this. Shouldn't have to be worrying about ''what happens if he burns through his money''.

Williams is a special guy and I will always be a fan of Paul walking or not. I can't believe how positive he is during this difficult time but whatever support system he has I need that in my life.

Truly hope he will one day walk again.
