And during my homework and also my camp, I did my hamstring — I’d blow off my hamstring out — but that I was willing to work on it. We worked around it, threw it on the wall, no volatile sort of stuff, then I got an abscess infection. That absolutely knocked me from the park.” While he was formerly able to train around his hamstring injury, the disease ended up departing”The Reaper” bedridden for many weeks, and Whittaker believes that the loopholes of his immune system may have resulted in his ensuing battle with chickenpox too.
