Boxing promoter Frank Warren had a hard time dealing with Coronavirus as he tested positive just before Christmas. Initially, he claimed that he was fine, but later the situation worsened and he had to seek medical attention.
While COVID-19 continues to scratch the sports community, boxing has been one of the prime victims. Several fights were canceled in 2020 to curb the pandemic outbreak. Although boxing is back on track, the Coronavirus still affects it in several ways.
Frank Warren recently connected with Seconds Out to share his dreadful experience with COVID-19. He appeared stable but claimed of being harshly affected by COVID-19, resulting in hospitalization for 8 days.

Speaking on it, Warren said. “I was in hospital for eight days with COVID and I am alright mate. I tested positive just before Christmas didn’t feel too god.
“My wife wanted to call an ambulance, and I didn’t want to go to the hospital. So, they gave me a bit of oxygen, I went. And the next day I was really dreadful and she called the ambulance and I was at the hospital. That’s it.”
Warren further said that he met several patients over there who were much worse off. He recalled those moments for boxing fans. The Queensberry Promotions CEO continued, “So, stuck in the hospital with a lot of other really poor people, much worse than I was but guess it was an experience.”
