Italian legend goes down without a fight

Amateur legend Clemente Russo has a chance to qualify for his fifth-- fifth!-- Olympic games but he seems to be going down without a fight. Russo, a super heavyweight from Italy with two Olympic silver medals, was a no-show in London for a Tokyo 2020 qualifying bout against Britain's Frazer Clarke on Saturday. According to Reuters, Russo said he was experiencing digestive problems that kept him stuck in his hotel room. There is one more Olympic qualifying tournament remaining, but who knows if that will happen with the coronavirus pandemic?
