Cancer-stricken Dingko Singh recovers from COVID-19

NEW DELHI: Asian Games gold-winning former boxer Dingko Singh has recovered from COVID-19, testing negative for the deadly virus on Friday over a month after the cancer-stricken legend was hospitalised in Imphal.

Back at his home, but in isolation for the next fortnight, Singh spoke about the ordeal he endured, including five positive tests since his hospitalisation in the last week of May.

"It was a very difficult one month. I can't thank enough the doctors and nurses, who treated me. I am indebted to them for life," the enigmatic former boxer, who is also battling liver cancer, said.

"I tested positive five times during my stay in hospital. It was very traumatising because I would see people, who came after me, leave before me but somehow I kept going thanks to the doctors and nurses," he recalled. Agencies
