Cricketing icon Tony Greig has been diagnosed with a form of lung cancer.
The former England captain and Nine Network commentator underwent tests earlier this month after failing to recover from a suspected case of bronchitis, the Sunday Telegraph reports.
Doctors discovered a small lesion on the base of his right lung and later revealed he had cancer.
"I have had a few scrapes in my life and this is another one," the South African-born identity told the paper.
"(My wife) Vivian and I are going to put the boxing gloves on and fight this like we've never fought anything before."
Greig will have surgery this week to take a sample from his lung, which will help doctors determine the extent of the cancer and appropriate course of action.
He is unsure whether he will commentate for Nine this summer. The first Test against South Africa begins in Brisbane on November 9.
