Former Heavyweight Champion hospitalized with seizures!

Former WBA heavyweight champion Greg Page, who sustained brain damage during a 2001 fight, was hospitalized and in critical condition.

Page, 47, was transferred Friday to the intensive care unit at Jewish Hospital a day after being admitted, hospital officials said. He has acute respiratory failure, sepsis, hypothermia and seizures.

"We are hopeful he will recover from this as well," said Page's wife, Patricia.

Page was left with brain injuries from his fight five years ago against Dale Crowe. He slipped into a coma, then had a stroke during post-fight surgery. He is paralyzed on his left side and uses a wheelchair.

Last week, Crowe was charged with murder in the death of a Cincinnati man.
