Meta's CEO Mark Zuckerberg faced a sudden setback after tearing his Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) during a boxing training session, necessitating an urgent hospital visit.
The tech billionaire shared his ordeal on Instagram, posting from his hospital bed post-surgery.
Zuckerberg's post revealed that the injury occurred amidst his preparation for an upcoming MMA fight, scheduled for early next year, now postponed due to this unforeseen incident.
The MMA fight was rumored to be a much-anticipated face-off between him and fellow tech tycoon Elon Musk.
However, Zuckerberg had previously turned down Musk's proposition to have their bout in the Roman Coliseum, as Musk disclosed.
This unexpected turn of events has left fans and the tech community buzzing with concern and anticipation on the rescheduling of the high-profile match-up.
The pictures shared by Zuckerberg on Instagram capture him reclined on a hospital bed, portraying a glimpse into the severity of his injury.
This episode underscores the physical risks even tech moguls are willing to take outside the digital realm, shedding light on the human side of Silicon Valley's giants.
Elon Musk’s witty proposition and Zuckerberg's recent misfortune have added a layer of anticipation and drama to their friendly rivalry, making the wait for their eventual face-off all the more exciting.
