Three-time kickboxing world champion Frederic Sinistra died of COVID-19 last week after he attempted to treat the virus at home.
The 41-year-old Belgian kickboxer, nicknamed "The Undertaker," was admitted to the hospital in late November after his coach, Carolo Yigin Osman, threatened to leave him if he did not seek treatment for his COVID-19 infection, newspaper Sudinfo reported.
Sinistra, an unvaccinated COVID-19 denier who reportedly once called the disease a "little virus," voluntarily discharged himself from the hospital and opted to treat his sickness at his home in Liege with oxygen.
He believed his relatively young age and physical condition would be enough to protect himself from the COVID-19 symptoms
"A warrior never abdicates! I will come back even stronger," Sinistra said in a post on Instagram, which included a photo of the athlete on the hospital bed of an intensive care unit.
