On Saturday morning he posted a video on Twitter captioned "never give up! The fight is on!" where he is seen sweating profusely and breathing heavily.
"It stands no chance, none whatsoever. It is going to be defeated. It is going to be chased out of this body. We are made of stern stuff. It will fall. It must fall," he says.
