ONE champ Aung La N Sang recounts experience with COVID-19, ‘hungrier’ than ever to fight again

ONE Championship two-division champion Aung La N Sang was originally preparing for a middleweight title defense earlier this year, but the coronavirus pandemic put a stop to the promotion’s calendar for several months.

Then in July, “The Burmese Python” revealed that he had personally tested positive for COVID-19, which then forced him to endure a two-week quarantine while also worrying for the health and safety of his entire family.

It turns out almost everyone in his household contracted COVID-19 by the time it was all said and done, but thankfully no one dealt with any serious medical conditions as a result.
