The unfortunate news of Abdulmanap’s illness came up in April after he was showing flu-like symptoms. Initially, people expected him to be suffering from pneumonia. He was later transported to a military hospital in Moscow from his home in Dagestan. The doctors confirmed what several people were speculating from the beginning. His test for Coronavirus came back positive.
If all this wasn’t enough, Khabib’s father suffered a stroke. He went into a medically induced coma. It took him a week to come out of it. However, his condition remained static and showed no real progress.
