Baron Black’s Health Challenges: Nearing Full Recovery
Professional wrestler Baron Black, who last competed in the summer of 2023 for the Georgia-based Battle Slam promotion, has been grappling with health issues since December 2022. The founder of Battle Slam, Black, disclosed via his social media that he sustained an ankle injury in December 2022, which was aggravated while wrestling in January 2023. Despite being a ligament issue, the injury did not require surgery. However, his attempts to return to the ring in June were thwarted as his ankle had not fully recovered.
Health Challenges and Recovery
Adding to his tribulations, Black also suffered from food poisoning, leading to severe dehydration and fatigue. This resulted in seven emergency room visits. Eventually, doctors diagnosed him with a gut bacteria problem related to the food poisoning. Black is now nearing the end of his recovery and is keen to make his comeback in the wrestling ring.
