Chimaev’s representatives told ESPN shortly after the fight he was going to try to avoid surgery, but it now appears there has been a change in plans.

“I’m going to do a surgery, operation in one, two weeks,” Chimaev said on Instagram Live. “After that, do the recovery, come back, smash somebody.”

On Tuesday night, Chimaev posted a picture of himself in the hospital after surgery, and he wasn’t looking too good.

“I was very sick, my hand was injured, so I couldn’t return right away, I want to tell all the fountains, I want to see myself in battle more than all of you, I love this job, I will do and prove that I am the best, as always we do, and I will be back soon to Insha’Allal training ”

Я сильно болел, рука была травмирована, поэтому не смог сразу вернуться, хочу сказать всем фонтанам, я хочу видеть себя в бою больше вас всех, я люблю эту работу, буду делать и доказывать что я лучший как всегда мы это делаем, и скоро вернусь к тренировкам ИнШаАллаl pic.twitter.com/Wmk4QQm7UU
