Former WBC flyweight challenger Hussein “Hussy” Hussein has been hospitalized after being diagnosed with Covid-19 in Sydney. Hussy’s brother Nedal told Fightnews.com® that his brother had suffered pneumonia and his lungs had collapsed but his condition had now stabilized and had not worsened.
In 2003, Hussein challenged WBC flyweight champion Pongsalek Wonjongkam in Bangkok Thailand. Hussein also featured in two bouts with WBC flyweight champion Jorge Arce in 2005.
After retirement, Hussein Hussein became a boxing trainer along with his brothers Billy Hussein and Maz Hussein at the Bodypunch Boxing Gym in Lakemba Sydney Australia.
The Australian boxing fraternity are saying their prayers for Hussy’s speedy recovery.
Prayers for him…
Dear Lord, we lift to You our concern for people who are more likely than others to become severely ill from COVID-19 — the elderly and people with chronic health conditions. Protect them from harm and be their comfort in this time of uncertainty and, for many, preventive isolation from loved ones
Hope he gets better. It sounds like he is but from what I’ve heard with people who had covid, it’s a roller coaster ride. Good days then horrible days.
Regardless of the debate over the COVID-19, let’s all hope for the best for those sick with the virus a speedy recovery.
