In a recent interview with Nick Hausman of the Haus Of Wrestling podcast, Konnan revealed that he has found a kidney donor and that the person is very close to being able to donate.

“I’m feeling great, but dialysis is not something you want to be on forever because of two things — Number one, your kidneys are only at 10% functionality. Number two, dialysis isn’t like, you can be on dialysis forever and live off of it, you’ll eventually die. So, basically, I have to find a donor and I have one right now. They just have — there’s this BMI index, they have to lose six more pounds and then they can donate their kidney, and we still gotta make sure they’re compatible. So, you know, I always try to think positively because thinking negatively doesn’t help anything.”

Konnan first revealed that he needed a kidney donor again back in January 2022.

Fightful wishes Konnan the best of luck with all of health issues going forward.
