Taken from his twitter:

@VICIOUSFARRELL: Dr Hewitt, confirmed my worst fears today. I will never box again, the next punch to my head could be fatal & the BBBofC wouldn't licence me

@VICIOUSFARRELL: I asked if I had a 4year long break would I be able to box? He told me I have long term brain damage, once its damaged it won't mend

@VICIOUSFARRELL: I was expecting the worse but its worse when its told to you, I'm heart broke. I need a few days to get my head round it. VIVA LAS VICIOUS

Horrible news. Puts everything into perspective

It's bad news, but he's lucky to be alive and that's the main thing.

 

[Vano-irons]

100% right Baj.

 

[Libertarian]

I've just seen it on Twatter.

Unfortunate for the lad, but at least he's well enough to be gutted about the situation.

 

[EnglishWay]

Shame, seems like he's big into his boxing too (watching fights n that)..

 

[tdw]

Sucks for him and also feel bad for Crolla but as said, it could have been so much worse

 

[JamieC]

Terrible news but glad he's ok, Crolla must feel bad now as well

 

[GazOC]

Poor bloke but, as said, could have been far worse. Wish him all the best for the future.

 

[Lunny]

Was just about to post this. Gutting for him. As said though, at least he's leaving the sport with his health somewhat intact, could have been much worse.

 

[Bryn]

Kid must be gutted. Big picture wise, could've be a whole lot worse.

Dave Coldwell is looking to do a fundraiser for him.

 

[BoxingAnalyst]

Dave Coldwell is a top lad, wish Farrell all the best.
