K-1 Gives a Remy Bonjasky Update; Doesn't Say Much

The K-1 home page is somewhat notorious for posting fluff interviews with fighters and really, most of it should be taken a face value as promotional work alone. In an email to the K-1 staff in regards to the retirement rumors, Remy basically gave a nonanswer; he wasn't retiring yet but had to wait and see how his recovery comes along in the coming weeks.

"Since the last World Grand Prix I've done some training. Not a lot, but some. Since I've known that I'll be having an operation, I've been training less. I am scheduled to have it in the 3rd week of August. A lot of fans don't know that this is actually the fourth time that I am going to have an operation on my right eye," explained the father of 2.

Remy stated that a comeback would depend on how things went with the surgery, and it would require some consideration. He assured all that if he did, it would be with nothing less than the intention of winning yet another title. "I hope my fans will support me when I have my operation by sending letters and cards. They can see the address on my website www.remybonjasky.com. They have supported me for all these years, and I hope, with their support, I will fully recover and take myself back to the ring where I can thank them for their support and love," he said.

Hopefully Bonjasky makes a full recovery and is able to participate in the Final 16 come October.
