Belgian kickboxer (1981–2021) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Frédéric Sinistra (13 January 1980 – 15 December 2021) was a Belgian kickboxing champion who died from COVID-19.[1][2] Born in Seraing, Sinistra taught himself kickboxing at a young age and began competing in the sport at age sixteen. He went on to win the Belgian National Championship title four times and the World Championship a total of three times.
Sinistra was nicknamed "the Undertaker", and at one time was called "Belgium's strongest man".[3] Opponents that Sinistra defeated included Stefan Leko and Dževad Poturak, while he was defeated by Badr Hari,[4] Grégory Tony, and Patrice Quarteron.
Sinistra, an anti-vaccinationist, was unvaccinated and a denier of COVID-19. When he became infected with COVID-19 in late November 2021, he would not acknowledge he had it. He was admitted to hospital but voluntarily discharged himself soon after. He died of COVID-19 complications in Havelange a few weeks later.[1][2][5]
