Boxer Nick Blackwell has expressed his gratitude for the support he has received and revealed he is making progress on a daily basis after awaking from a medically-induced coma.
The 25-year-old collapsed in the ring after being stopped in the 10th round of his British middleweight title fight against Chris Eubank Jr last month.
Blackwell suffered a bleed on the skull, but there was positive news when his promoters Hennessy Sports released a statement confirming he had regained consciousness.
The boxer's brother, Dan, has now posted a message on Facebook on behalf of the former champion.

"Just want to say a massive thank you to everyone who has been there for me." Blackwell wrote.
"All my friends and family those who wished me well and to who raised money for me. I feel truly blessed and have massive love for you all couldn't have done it without you.
"It's been the toughest fight of my life and you all have made [it] that bit easier. On to rehab now, progress is getting better by the day. Big love to you all, Nick."
