Teen found cancer after leg snapped in boxing match - and had to be amputated
2 years ago
A teen whose leg spontaneously snapped during a boxing match was diagnosed with a rare bone cancer - and had his leg amputated.
Ollie Hercombe, 16, began boxing as soon as he could walk and grew up going to the gym to train three times a week.
In early 2022 he began suffering occasional discomfort in his right shin and a lump formed, which was put down to shin splints.
The teen just ignored the soreness and continued going for five-mile runs and daily gym sessions.
But on March 18, while sparring in the boxing gym, Ollie stepped back - and his right shin SNAPPED.
