Boycott confirmed the news in a statement as he explained he requires an operation.
He told The Telegraph: “In the last few weeks I have had an MRI Scan, CT Scan, a PET Scan and two biopsies and it has now been confirmed I have throat cancer and will require an operation.
“From past experience I realise that to overcome cancer a second time I will need excellent medical treatment and quite a bit of luck and even if the operation is successful every cancer patient knows they have to live with the possibility of it returning.
“So I will just get on with it and hope for the best.”
Boycott was previously diagnosed with throat cancer in 2002, undergoing radiotherapy to treat the illness.
As a player, the former Test cricketer played for both Yorkshire and England, establishing himself as one of the nation’s most successful opening batsmen.
In a career spanning from 1962 to 1986, Boycott registered 22 centuries in 108 Test matches.
