Former boxing champion and former assistant coach of the National team Maurizio Stecca, Olympic gold medal in Los Angeles 1984 and then WBO world champion and European professional champion, hospitalized for Covid.
The 58-year-old is in a medical ward of the Ca 'Foncello hospital in Treviso, in whose province he resides.
"I started the most difficult match of my life against an opponent called Covid," said the former boxer on social media, also publishing a selfie that portrays him with an oxygen mask on his face. "I don't know how many shots it will take - he added - but I will certainly not retreat".
Stecca, as far as we know, had already received two doses of the vaccine and was about to take the third.
