Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov continues to battle for his health in Moscow. While he successfully came out of a coma just a few days ago, Khabib confirmed that his father’s health deteriorated further due to the coronavirus.
Medical experts have confirmed that the virus has worse effects on those who are already suffering from internal diseases.
Khabib took to Instagram to make his first public acknowledgment regarding his father’s health.
He said, “This virus has very seriously affected his heart since he had a heart operation a year ago. Many people I know have died, the parents of people close to me. This virus has affected everyone. This virus doesn’t ask what your surname or name is, this virus doesn’t ask where you work [or] if you are rich or poor. Everyone has gotten ill. We can only overcome this together.”
Russian President Vladimir Putin reached out to Khabib Nurmagomedov as his father went into a medically induced coma after complications from the novel coronavirus disease.
Khabib’s manager, Ali Abdelaziz, confirmed that Putin reached out to Khabib multiple times to ensure that the champ has everything he requires.
“The president reached out to him a couple of times. It makes us a little bit at ease, but everything’s in Allah’s hands. Everything is in Allah’s hands and we can get all the help we can.”
