The 16-time world champion denied reports he had cancer on Twitter on Thursday to keep his diagnosis private, but was later ready to share the news.
Flair told People: “It’s the second time in three years that I’ve been dealing with skin cancer.
“I will be undergoing treatment next week.”
The two-time WWE Hall of Famer added: “Appreciate the concerns!”
Flair is widely regarded as one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time having shared the ring with some of the sport’s biggest legends.
The Nature Boy has previously dealt with significant health issues.
Back in August 2017, the ex-WWE Champion was hospitalised with stomach pains.
A few hours later the North Carolina native suffered early stages of kidney failure and came close to congestive heart failure as a result of alcohol abuse.
The ex-US Champion’s family were told he only had 20 per cent odds of surviving and was put in a medically induced coma.
The former Intercontinental Champion’s doctors later removed part of his bowel and inserted a pacemaker as he regained consciousness.
Flair cemented himself as one of the greatest legends thanks to successful stints at WWE, WCW, NWA and New Japan.
