The Frenchman revealed: “I collapsed 45 minutes before the match in the shower. I woke up on the floor. “Everything was black and I couldn’t see very well. “It was strange because I felt ready and fit. I had no aches or pains, nothing. “I’ve got a hole (in his memory).

“I didn’t hurt myself but I was stunned. There was a bit of panic during the warm-up. “We did some balance exercises to regain visual stability. I didn’t start the match in the best shape.”. But Moutet, 25, insisted that the incident did not impact the result against Tien.
