Vinny Paz (formally known as Vinny Pazienza) has said having the medical brace that was screwed into his head removed was the 'most pain' he had ever experienced.

Paz had to wear a medical device called a Halo, a circular metal brace screwed into the skull in four spots and propped up with four metal rods after he broke his neck in a head-on car crash. He had the brace screwed to his head for three months. His story is told in the film 'Bleed for This', which is executive produced by Martin Scorsese.

The former boxer returned to the ring just thirteen months after the accident and he told 5 live's Sarah Brett and Nihal Arthanayake when it happened he thought: "This is what I should be doing, this is my home".
