According to Dan Rafael of espn.com, former WBA Super Welterweight champion Yuri Foreman had successful surgery on his right knee. He injured the knee last Saturday night when he dropped a ninth round stoppage to Miguel Cotto in Yankee Stadium.
“It was a success. Yuri was released and starts rehabilitation on Monday,” said Dr. Laith Jazrawi in a statement. “If all goes well, he should be fine in six months. This was from a chronic injury and we didn’t find anything unusual. There were no surprises and nothing we couldn’t repair.”
“I’m pleased the surgery went well,” Foreman said in a statement. “Being on crutches is not the fun part. I thank my fans for their outpouring of good wishes.”
