HAVANA -- Three-time Olympic heavyweight boxing champion Teofilo Stevenson says reports of his near-death in Cuba are exaggerated after spending two weeks in the hospital.

Stevenson says he was hospitalized 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.

Stevenson says Wednesday he is recovering well and plans to return soon to his position at the Cuban Boxing Federation.

good to hear he is recovering. there's been like 4 deaths in boxing that i know of this week. on tuesday, the trainer of marvin hagler passed, goody petronelli. on wednesday, the referee wayne kelly and the legendary angelo dundee pass. then just yesterday i hear about a 21 year old filipino kid who passed after having a blood clot in his fight. sad stuff. good to hear this guy is recovering.
also, amazing stories shared on this page. hopefully cuba does get better but i have a feeling much won't change, just the name of who's in charge. we'll see what happens though. it'd be nice to see cubans succeeding around the world (like in the mlb or professional boxing like some of you said).

It'll never change, like the other Cuban poster said the damage is already done.
