Fights resume in Nicaragua because ‘boxers have to eat’

With the world pretty much devoid of sports events because of the coronavirus pandmeic, boxing resumed in Nicaragua on Saturday night with a televised eight-fight card in front of a live, though sparse audience in Managua. The three deaths (reported so far by the Ministry of Health) came from outside and nobody within the country has been contaminated,'' Alvarez, known as ''El Bufalo,'' said before the event. The fights were broadcast by Nicaragua's state-owned Canal 6 and ESPN Latin America through its ESPN KnockOut program.
