Meanwhile, Aung La “The Burmese Python” N Sang announced on Thursday, 2 July, that he tested positive for COVID-19.
The two-division ONE World Champion shared that he was tested on Monday, 29 June, and is now quarantining for 14 days along with his family.
"Dear family and friends, I got tested for covid-19 on Monday and the result came back today and I am positive," he said. "So my family and I will be quarantining ourselves for the next 14 days."
Aung La, a Florida-based Burmese, said he experienced COVID-19 symptoms for 2 days.
"I had a slight fever, congestion, body ache and fatigue on the first two days. Besides that, I am blessed that my whole family is doing well. We are really in this together and we will get over this," he said.
The last time Aung La fought in ONE Championship was in October, when he defended one of his titles against Filipino champion Brandon Vera. He knocked out Vera in 2 rounds to retain the ONE light heavyweight crown. (Taken from ONE CHAMPIONSHIP website )
