The ongoing coronavirus pandemic has brought the entire sports world to a screeching halt. Yet while almost all professional sports have suspended their seasons and canceled upcoming events, a Nicaraguan boxing promotion still went ahead with its show this past weekend.
Dubbed ‘Bufalo Boxing,’ the event took place at the Alexis Arguello Sports Complex in Managua, Nicaragua, and drew in a sizeable crowd to nearly 1000 spectators. A variety of safety measures were put in place to mitigate any potential spread of the virus, including protective face masks and hand sanitizers. Spectators were also told to sit two seats apart in the stands and had their temperatures checked before entering the building, which was a requirement from the Nicaragua Sports Commission.
