Steward-Jones, who handles business and public-relations matters for Steward, denied her brother was suffering from a life-threatening illness, rumors of which have circulated of late in boxing circles.
"My brother has had problems with a nervous stomach, which turned into diverticulosis," Steward-Jones said. "He had to have some repairs and he is resting and recuperating. He is doing very well."
According to Steward-Jones, Steward will have to take it slow.
"The doctor said he has to rest," she said. "He'll have to cut back on what he takes on, and he's been advised to eat better ... follow a better diet."
