Coronavirus and Combat Sports Fighters: How is it Affecting Them?

The worldwide pandemic of coronavirus has turned many facets of everyday life upside down. Cities have enacted curfews, borders have been closed to help contain the virus, and the combat sports world has been in a dry spell of fights. Everyone has been affected by coronavirus differently, but one group that is being hurt are fighters themselves.

Fighters have not only had fights cancelled but training regimes have been affected with many gyms closing down or reducing hours. That, in turn, has left many fighters unable to make a living fighting or as coaches.
