Kirian ‘koraje’, a wrestling icon with the shield of the Unión Deportiva Las Palmas, announced this Tuesday that he has the Hodgkin’s lymphoma -the same pathology suffered by the tennis player from Gran Canaria and former number six in the world of the WTA ranking Carla Suárez-. “I’m going to keep fighting, I have cancer but I’ll be back in December in that market window. I don’t want to be sad”, He valued in the press room of the Ciudad Deportiva de Barranco Seco, together with his family, the entire board of directors, as well as the squad of the Gran Canaria team.

The midfielder thus revealed the illness that has separated him from professional dynamics throughout the preseason – the preparatory phase started on Monday, July 4-. After completing the medical testing process, she took the microphone. “I try to be brief and concise, to explain all the details of my situation.
