The news of his death was announced by his wife Kay Hagler on social media. Since then, many athletes and boxing legends have come forward in paying tributes to the iconic boxer who recently took the Covid-19 vaccine.

The initial reports did get a seal of confirmation from Thomas “Hitman” Hearns, who was knocked out by Hagler during their monumental bout in 1985. The iconic boxer took to his official Instagram profile and shared that Hagler suffered a lot of health problems after taking the vaccine.

Hearns also asked his followers to pray for Hagler and his family. His post created a lot of panic among the media outlets and they quoted Hearns’ message to tell the world that Hagler died from the after-effects of the ‘vaccine’.

The claims spread like a wildfire and prompted Hagler’s wife to come out and quash all the rumors regarding her husband’s death.

Did Hagler really die from the after-effects of the Covid-19 vaccine? 

In a lengthy Facebook post, Kay responded to all the claims made on Hagler’s death and revealed that he died of ‘natural causes'. She did not mention anything about the vaccine in her post and certainly, did not put the blame for her husband’s death on the jabs.

Hagler’s widow noted that she was the “only person” close to him until the last minute and she is the only one to know how Hagler passed away. Kay also shared that she is “not” willing to “accept” all the stupid comments made by people regarding Hagler’s death.

Kay made it clear that it was not the vaccine that took her husband’s life. She wrote, “I was the only person close to him until the last minute, and I am the only person that knows how things went not even his family know all the details and I do NOT accept to read some stupid comment without knowing really what happens. For sure wasn't the vaccine that caused his death. My baby left in peace with his usual smile and now is not the time to talk nonsense.”

As soon as Kay posted the aforementioned statement on Facebook, Hearns deleted his message and hasn’t been active on social media since then. As far as the side-effects of the Covid-19 vaccine are concerned, there are many reports stating that people are experiencing some problems after taking the shots. Germany, France, and Italy have hit pause on AstraZeneca Covid-19 shots after several countries reported possible serious side-effects.

Countries like Denmark, Norway, Iceland, Bulgaria, Ireland, and the Netherlands have also stopped used the AstraZeneca vaccine after reporting cases of blood clots, a low platelet count, and bleeding. On the other hand, Austria was recently investigating the death of a 45-year-old woman who passed away after taking the shot. However, The European Medicines Agency (EMA) has made it clear there is no evidence to link the AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine to the death of a woman.
