Two-time WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair has shut down recent claims that he’s been battling cancer, saying that he has no cancer at this time.
On Twitter, Flair made it clear that he doesn’t have cancer of any kind and said fans had been “misled by social media.”
I’m Sorry People Have Been Misled By Social Media, But I Don’t Have Cancer Of Any Kind. Thank You For Your Concerns And For Everyone Reaching Out. I Am Absolutely Fine, And Unfortunately, You’ll Have To Live And Put Up With Me For Another 25 Years!

The claim had originated from Flair’s son-in-law and wrestling podcasting staple Conrad Thompson.
Responding to a fan who noticed a mark on Flair’s head at a fan event, Thompson had claimed that the Nature Boy recently had some skin cancer removed.
