His family was practicing all the safety protocols, but despite that, they could not protect themselves from the highly contagious virus.

“I can tell you this has been one of the most challenging and difficult things we have ever had to endure as a family, and for me personally,” ‘the people’s champ’ said in the video.

“In a 24-hour period, it had spread so quickly to our nanny, our nanny’s teenage kids, her husband. Myself and my two-year-old daughter, we were the last ones standing until the very end, but of course, we both tested positive.

However, he and his family were the ‘lucky ones’ as they recovered well from the vicious attack.

“We were on the fortunate end for something that has been so traumatic to the world. We got through it.”
