HAVANA — Three-time Olympic heavyweight boxing champion Teofilo Stevenson says he’s recovering well after spending two weeks in hospital for an arterial clot.
Stevenson said on Wednesday he was hospitalized on Jan. 13 after doctors detected a clot in an artery near his heart. He spent 15 days in intensive care before being released last week.

The 59-year-old told The Associated Press in an interview at his home in western Havana that he was exercising and walking on doctors’ orders, and planned to return soon to his work as vice president of the Cuban Boxing Federation.

“I’m fine now,” Stevenson said.
