Vadim Nemkov reveals 2022 kidney issues caused cardio problems vs Corey Anderson

Vadim Nemkov has disclosed that kidney problems in 2022 severely impacted his cardio during his first fight with Corey Anderson. Nemkov says he would tire after just one round in sparring, feeling like his gas tank was empty. He consulted doctors, traveled to Thailand for training camp, and eventually found a legal pharmaceutical solution that restored his conditioning. Nemkov also revealed he has completely eliminated sports supplements from his routine due to the strain they place on his kidneys. He now relies only on vitamins such as omega-3, fish oil, magnesium, and vitamin B, having cut out creatine, protein, and BCAAs.
