Boxing Event in Nicaragua Features Social Distancing Crowd, Masks, Temp Checks

While the vast majority of the sports world is on hiatus, boxing fans in Nicaragua enjoyed some action this weekend ... while wearing masks and sitting 6 feet apart.

The Central American nation is one of the very few countries still allowing sporting events during the COVID-19 pandemic, so there was a fight card Saturday night at Alexis Arguello Sports Center in the capital city of Managua.

As you can see ... boxers, doctors, referees, judges, media members, ring girls and fans all wore face coverings for the event, though fighters were allowed to remove their masks to throw punches.
