‘Damaged’ Israil Madrimov was ‘very sick’ ahead of Vergil Ortiz fight

January 22, 2026


“I was very sick. I had [extensive] damage to my lungs, took antibiotics and the training [for Ortiz] hurt me more. It was a very dumb thing I did because it further damaged me,” Madrimov said. “I’d get tired by the fifth round, out of breath, and ended up visiting Germany, India and other countries looking for a cure and the best doctors. I’m still in recovery and feeling much better, but it’s been a busy recovery year, and it’s still going.”
