IBF top-ranked Shavkat Rakhimov (15-0, 12 KOs) tested positive for COVID-19 and won’t be fighting for the world title against IBF lightweight champion Joseph Diaz (31-1, 15 KOs) on February 13 in Los Angeles. Diaz may get another opponent.

WBC/IBF light heavyweight world champion Arthur Beterbiev (15-0, 15KOs) is fully recovered from a positive coronavirus test and his twice-postponed fight against Adam Deines (19-1-1, 10KOs) is rescheduled for March 20, probably in Russia.
Interesting these fighters can train hard for a fight with COVID. Wonder do they feel any difference with their lungs. How many of us have COVID and never know because haven’t been tested?
This shows keeping a strong healthy body is best way to combat most diseases, making the body more immune. Not necessarily vaccines.
Well, I guess you aren’t older than 65, much less 75
Vitamin D3 seems to be a key to containing Covid from what I’ve read. Supposedly, in around 90% of Covid hospitalizations…in other words the most severe cases….the patients were Vitamin D deficient.
I wonder if Tevin Farmer would be interested in the Diaz fight on a month’s notice.
Beterbiev having only 15 pro fights in his career is a travesty. This guy is a terrific fighter and an exciting KO artist. His management should be shot.
