In intensive care since December 12 despite the double dose of vaccine, the Olympic gold boxer in Los Angeles ’84 announced on Facebook that he was cured
“I won the match of my life.” These are the words of Maurizio Stecca, 58, former boxing champion and Olympic gold medalist in Los Angeles 84, recovered from Covid. He was hospitalized since 12 December in the intensive care unit of the Treviso Ca ‘Foncello hospital, despite being vaccinated with a double dose. This was announced by Stecca himself in a post on his Facebook profile, with a photo in which he appears smiling and gestures with the thumb up. «I won the match of my life, thanks to you for supporting me with your friends team? Merry Christmas 2021, Maurizio Stecca ».
Resident for some time with his partner in Casale sul Sile, in the Treviso area, Stecca had made the announcement of the disease, again via social media: «I started the most difficult match of my life against an opponent called Covid. I don’t know how many takes it will take, certainly a lot. I, used to so many battles always won, will certainly never retreat from this accursed opponent ». Along with these words, the Los Angeles 84 Olympic gold medalist took a selfie with an oxygen mask on his face. An image that spoke more than any word. Furthermore, iIn the past Stecca had been diagnosed with a rare blood disorder, PNH (paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria), an acquired pathology with which he still lives today. His health was still good. Stecca had retired from competitive activity in 1995, as an Italian super feather champion, to then decide to put his experience at the service of young boxers, teaching the boys in the gym of Libertas Rimini boxing and then becoming a teacher and also guiding the women’s national team. In 1996 he was a sports commentator on Rai for a year and from 1990 to 1997 he became a permanent member of a football team of former athletes which friendly disputes to raise funds for charity. Now the best victory of his career. Salvatore Riggio
