A brain damaged American boxer who was a former professional fighter has a message that is going viral for American promoters Roc Nation.

Former featherweight fighter Daniel ‘Twitch’ Franco of Riverside, California suffered two bleeds on the brain last June after a knockout defeat sustained in a bout against Jose Haro in Sloan.

Following an initially critical health situation, it is understood that Franco made some progress in his recovery at first.

Franco has had to set up a Go Fund Me Page here following his bout earlier in the year. A fight which effectively ended his career and almost his life.

Now the brain damaged American boxer has posted the following message to his former promoter, Roc Nation:
