The athlete himself reported this on social networks.

Assalam alaikum! I want to tell all those who were waiting for my fight on January 16, unfortunately, the fight will not take place because during the preparation there were health problems that arose after the coronavirus suffered back in September. In sha Allag, I will definitely return with the help of the Almighty, but now we need to take a short pause and let the body recover. All by the will of Allah“
