Vadim Nemkov Reveals Kidney Issues That Affected Corey Anderson Fights

Vadim Nemkov disclosed he suffered kidney problems in 2022 due to severe weight cuts, which significantly impacted his cardio during the Corey Anderson fights. Nemkov experienced extreme fatigue after just one round of sparring, a condition that persisted into his first bout with Anderson where he won the opening round but rapidly depleted in the second. After seeking medical help and training in Thailand before their rematch, doctors identified the issue and prescribed an approved medication that resolved his condition. Nemkov has since eliminated all sports supplements from his regimen including creatine, protein, and BCAAs, now only taking vitamins like omega-3, fish oil, magnesium, and vitamin B. He reports feeling no worse without the supplements and emphasizes proper nutrition and sleep as the keys to his current health.
