Wrestling icon Ric Flair has firmly denied having cancer following earlier reports about his health. This clarification comes after his son-in-law Conrad Thompson had initially suggested Flair underwent a procedure to remove skin cancer from his forehead. Flair has now directly addressed these claims on social media, setting the record straight about his condition.
In response to the spreading reports, Flair took to Twitter to address his fans directly: “I’m Sorry People Have Been Misled By Social Media, But I Don’t Have Cancer Of Any Kind. Thank You For Your Concerns And For Everyone Reaching Out. I Am Absolutely Fine, And Unfortunately, You’ll Have To Live And Put Up With Me For Another 25 Years!”
While the 76-year-old wrestling legend has faced significant health challenges in the past—including a life-threatening crisis in 2017 that resulted in multiple organ failures and a medically induced coma—his current statement emphasizes that cancer is not among his health concerns. Despite previous health issues, including a heart attack during his 2022 retirement match and ongoing treatments for alcoholic cardiomyopathy, Flair continues to make public appearances and maintains a positive outlook on his health.
