Former boxing champion Maurizio Stecca, Olympic gold medalist in Los Angeles 1984 and then WBO world champion and European professional champion, is hospitalized in Treviso due to Covid. Stecca, 58, who was also assistant coach of the national team, is in a medical ward of the Ca ‘Foncello hospital. Resident for some time in Veneto, in Casale sul Sile (Treviso), it was himself, from his Fb profile, who made the hospitalization known. “I started the most difficult match of my life against an opponent called Covid” wrote the former boxer, also publishing a selfie that sees him with an oxygen mask on his face. “I don’t know how many shots it will take – he added – but I will certainly not retreat”. Stecca had already received two doses of the vaccine and was preparing to do the third.
