Award-winning boxing trainer Colin ‘Nomakanjani’ Nathan is on his way home after spending just over four weeks at the Botkinskaya Hospital in St Petersburg, Russia.
Nathan landed at the Russian hospital after he tested positive for COVID-19 earlier last month. That was before his boxer Ryno Liebenberg’s loss to Russian Fedor Chudinov in St Petersburg, Russia.
“One of the most traumatic experiences in all my life. I’m proud to say I’m coming home,” a relieved Nathan said on Saturday.
Nathan tested positive for COVID-19 two days before Liebenberg’s fight against Chudinov. A second test came back negative raising his hopes of being in Liebenberg’s corner.
But a third test returned positive on the day of the fight something, which forced Russian health authorities to dispatch doctors and paramedics to his hotel. This was done in line with Russian health protocols.
