After starting his professional career, following glory at the 2012 London Olympics, with seven straight wins, Anthony Ogogo could be out of action for several months.
It appears that Ogogo has undergone surgery to correct an Achilles tendon problem that has affected him for quite a while.
The operation carried out has been to relieve tight tendons that have affected the fighters mobility and fitness.
Talking about the problem Ogogo is reported as having remarked,
‘I don’t know how much of me has been on display in the last four years of me competing.’
?There’s probably never been a happier guy that’s about to get cut open, sliced and diced. This is a good thing. I’m buzzing almost like I’ve just won a fight.’
‘Chronic bilateral Achilles pain which has plagued an athlete over a long time is, well just terrible.?
‘Particularly in a sport like boxing where you’re constantly on your toes, floating around the ring, your feet are imperative. You need them to dash in and out of range at great speed. With bad Achilles it doesn’t enable you to do this.?
‘In a few years time I’m sure in saying that in me, Britain will have a new middleweight world champion.’
Let?s hope so and let?s hope it is a speedy recovery and return to the ring for Ogogo.
