Irish boxer Peter McDonagh says he has been 'knocked for six' after contracting coronavirus.
The 42-year-old, who underwent brain surgery on a tumor just a year ago, revealed on social media that he is battling the killer virus.
He posted on Facebook: “I pissed a brain tumor a year ago this has knocked me for six. I’ve been in bed for over a week.
“I can see why older people are dying. Lock everyone down or is money more important than life to some people?”
Giving a further update on Wednesday night, the Galway native he is feeling better but has been in bed for well over a week.
He said: "Getting better now still in bed since last Sunday this is a serous virus. All listen to the guidelines."
All sports across the world have been affected by the coronavirus pandemic and boxing has been no exception.
Tyson Fury's trilogy fight with Deontay Wilder now looks set to take place in October rather than July.
Fury's promoter Bob Arum told ESPN: "You could not guarantee the fighters that the event would take place on that date [July].
"We couldn't convince them or ourselves. Where were they going to train for it? It just made no sense. You just have to take a step back.
"How are you going to sell tickets? It's absolutely ridiculous to say the fight is on when the Brits can't even get there.
"So everybody has to take a step back. Boxing is not isolated, it's part of what's happening in the world. So possibly the fight will be in early October."
The change of date also throws a potential unification fight between Fury and fellow world champion Anthony Joshua into doubt.
A December date had been discussed, with the fight likely to take place in Saudi Arabia - assuming Fury beat Wilder again and Joshua saw off the challenge of Kubrat Pulev.
The Bulgarian is due to challenge for Joshua's three belts at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on June 20, but that fight could be moved to July 25 or later.
