IBO cruiserweight world champion Danny Green is recovering in a Perth hospital after undergoing emergency surgery to have his appendix removed.
Green suffered severe stomach pains during a recent beach holiday at Yallingup but initial tests last week failed to identify the problem.
A CT scan eventually revealed a cyst on his appendix, with the 37-year-old undergoing surgery on Wednesday to have the cyst drained and the appendix removed.
