“I had emergency surgery in April. Since then, the disease has become infected, spread to my kidneys and I am now suffering from sepsis.

“I have been in the hospital since May 28th. My temperature has reached 41 degrees and I am suffering from seizures.

“I really can't say much, I'm just incredibly disappointed.”

Numerous followers of the former kickboxer sent her well wishes, one of which read: “Sorry to hear that Sammy, I hope you recover quickly.”
