Lewis Godfrey, 23, suffered such horrendous injuries that doctors on the scene pronounced him dead twice.
A team of 34 doctors and nurses were called in to save his life after he was rushed to hospital with his body parts held together in a blanket.
He had a substantial head injury and his skin had been ripped off his body in a band about a foot wide. His bowel had been damaged and his bladder ripped off.
Mr Godfrey, from Loughborough, Leicestershire, went on to spend 16 days in a coma. He was expected never to walk again and to have brain damage.
But five months after the horror smash, he has made a full recovery.
He said: 'It has taken a while for everything to sink in. Sometimes I can’t believe I’m here. I can’t remember anything from the fight or the accident, but I am really shocked when my dad tells me bits about what happened.
'I think it’s probably just as well I can’t remember anything. I was gutted when the doctors told me I would never walk again, but I was just glad to be here.
'I was determined to get my life back on track now, and with the help of a lot of people, I’m now able to walk around again.'
