The Hospitalization of a Legend

In recent hours, the boxing world was shaken by worrying news: Julio César Chávez had to be hospitalized after suffering severe pain. The information was confirmed by his son, Omar Chávez, who shared a video on Instagram from the hospital.

The footage showed the former world champion lying in a hospital bed, wearing a medical gown, while his son explained the situation to fans.

The Cause of the Pain

According to Omar Chávez, his father was admitted to Hospital Ángeles to treat a urinary tract problem. Doctors determined the pain was caused by a stone in the left ureter, and he will undergo surgery to have it removed.

“I’ve been monitoring the champion’s health for a long time. This time he had pain caused by a stone in the urinary tract, in the left ureter, and now they’re going to remove it,” explained the champion’s personal doctor.

The Champion’s Message

Despite the situation, Julio César Chávez appeared calm on camera and thanked fans for their support. “I’m fine, ready to go, thank you,” said the boxing legend, who admitted to feeling better after receiving medical attention.

An official update on his recovery is expected in the coming hours, though the initial reports are optimistic. The Mexican icon now faces a new round outside the ring—with the same strength that defined his career.
