LOUISVILLE — Former heavyweight champion Greg Page returned to the University of Cincinnati Hospital on Thursday to undergo additional surgery for injuries he received during a fight two months ago, hospital officials said.

        The 42-year-old boxer left Frazier Rehab Institute on Thursday and is expected to remain in Cincinnati for up to four days, said a statement from Frazier. He is scheduled to undergo bone flap replacement surgery at 7:30 a.m. today in an effort to relieve the swelling in his brain.

        Page had part of his skull taken out and was paralyzed on the left side from a stroke, his fiancee, Patricia Love, told the Las Vegas Review-Journal recently. “He is working through the pain and the roller-coaster ride associated with brain surgery,” Dr. Karen Bloom said through a statement. Love said doctors at the Cincinnati hospital told her Page was “dead on the operating table” after his March 9 fight in Erlanger against 24-year-old Dale Crowe.
