"All I really want to do is tell you that I'm feeling great", said Lee. "I'm glad I spent that evening in the hospital. It did me a lot of good. It probably did my fans a lot of good. It kept me off their backs for the evening. But I'm feeling good now, and I can't wait to get in there and tangle with all the competition."
Lee, 95, was admitted after experiencing shortness of breath and an irregular heartbeat on Wednesday night.
"It's nice to know that somewhere in the world there are still people who care about what I say or do," said Lee.
