Boxing legend Duran leaves hospital after COVID-19 scare

In this file photo taken on July 27, 2017, former Boxing Champion of the World from Panama “Manos de Piedra” Roberto Duran and WBA President Gilberto Mendoza from Venezuela hold up a trophy at the Opening Gala of 96th World Boxing Association Convention in Medellin, Colombia.

“Today, with the blessing of God, I returned home after battling the COVID-19 virus. It was a World Championship fight,” Duran wrote on his Instagram account. Duran thanked the doctors and nurses who “day after day give the best of themselves, regardless of the risk they take. I may be an ex-World Champion, but you are the true CHAMPIONS OF LIFE,” he said.

Duran boxed 119 fights between the ages of 16 and 50 — with 103 wins and 16 losses. He was knocked out four times, but did the same to his opponents 70 times, earning him the “Hands of Stone” nickname.
