Maurice Watkins, better known as Termite, a former professional boxer and Houston legend, contracted COVID-19 a year ago. It s hard to believe it s been a whole year, his wife Cindy said. It s been a whole year, but I remember all the details still. It was the fight of his life and it was the fight of my life to pray him through it.
