Oscar De La Hoya has withdrawn from his upcoming comeback fight after being hospitalized with COVID-19.
The 48-year-old revealed his diagnosis on Friday – eight days before he was scheduled to step into the ring to take on former UFC champion Vitor Belfort at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
De La Hoya announced he had contracted the coronavirus despite being fully vaccinated.
He shared a video to Twitter from his hospital bed accompanied by a caption which read: ‘I wanted you to hear directly from me that despite being fully vaccinated, I have contracted COVID and am not going to be able to fight next weekend.
This is because these so called vaccines are not vaccines, and they don’t work.
But..but..our overlords said we’d be SAFE.. life back to”normal”… vaccines are for control.. nothing else.
