TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) – WWE legend Ric Flair revealed his second skin cancer diagnosis in three years in an interview published by PEOPLE on Friday.

The 76-year-old retired professional wrestler told the outlet he is set to begin treatment next week.

“Nature Boy” has faced various health issues in recent years. He was hospitalized for over a month in 2017 due to complications from a surgery to correct a bowel obstruction.

The WWE Hall of Famer suffered a heart attack when he appeared in the ring for the final time in 2022. His alcohol addiction and resulting health issues were covered in a documentary that debuted on Peacock that same year.

The wrestler known for his trademark “Woooooooo!” call was a decorated athlete early in life, competing in wrestling, football and track while attending a boarding school in Wisconsin. Flair went on to win two wrestling championships, in 1966 and 1968, before a football scholarship took him to the University of Minnesota, according to his WWE biography.

Flair would ultimately drop out, however, and while working as a bouncer he met Ken Patera, an Olympic weightlifter who would go on to introduce him to American Wrestling Association Heavyweight Champion Verne Gagne.

Nature Boy’s career took off along with those of other AWA wrestlers in the early 1970s, such as The Iron Sheik, Patera, Jim Brunzell, Dusty Rhodes, Andre the Giant and Wahoo McDaniel.
