Top Rank Boxing’s Mikaela Mayer received a positive test for COVID-19 yesterday per the boxer’s Instagram. As the promotion, returns to action in Vegas on Tuesday, the junior lightweight’s fight against Helen Joseph is off.
Mayer indicated that she is asymptomatic and is in quarantine at an off-site location from the rest of the athletes that are scheduled to fight on Tuesday.
Payout Perspective:
The good news is that Mayer is asymptomatic at this point and that the protocol provided by Top Rank and the NAC caught this prior to her fight. Perhaps a ray of hope that sports are learning to deal with COVID-19 and that the protocols in place, if followed, will help facilitate sports back up and running.
