World Boxing Council President Mauricio Sulaiman has revealed his view on the current pandemic involving the coronavirus.
Sulaiman believes steps currently taken by several governments around the globe could effectively be making things worse for people.
After taking advice at length, Sulaiman informed boxing fans of a ten-step plan to tackle the ongoing crisis of COVID-19.
“I have spoken to so many experts and doctors about the virus. The fact is that the world is reacting wrongly,” said Sulaiman.
“Please educate yourself about it and then you will understand that we must not panic. Life can continue as usual with specific precautions.”
