A British wrestler who defied the odds by returning to the ring after being diagnosed with cancer has tragically passed away.
Kris Travis, from Sheffield, has died aged 32 after a difficult battle with the disease, and tributes have been pouring out from his friends and contemporaries in the industry.
"We all miss you already Kris Travis, a fighter right until the end and always in good spirits even with a terminal illness. Both personally, professionally and as a fan and on behalf of myself and all at PCW we hope you're now in a better place and will remain in our thoughts."
Last year, Travis confirms his retirement following his cancer battle, after an incredible in-ring comeback despite having surgery to remove a stomach tumor and undergoing 18 weeks of chemotherapy.
Announcing his retirement one month after the return match, he said: "I'm going to put this out there right now..... I won't ever be wrestling ever again. Gutted yes. But I have to accept this. Lots of love. X"
