Third Career Failed Test
In a shocking turn of events, the highly anticipated rematch between Dillian Whyte and Anthony Joshua has been called off due to Whyte's third career failed drug test.
Adverse Analytical Finding
A recent voluntary drug test conducted on Whyte revealed an "adverse analytical finding," leading to the cancellation of the fight.
Statement from Matchroom Boxing
Matchroom Boxing issued a statement confirming the failed test and announcing a full investigation. The Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA) notified Matchroom, the Association of Boxing Commissions, and the British Boxing Board of Control about the findings.
Eddie Hearn's Response
Promoter Eddie Hearn took to Twitter to address the situation, promising more updates to follow. Neither Whyte nor Joshua have publicly commented on the cancellation.
Previous Doping Controversies
This is not the first time Whyte has been embroiled in anti-doping controversies. In 2012, he tested positive for the banned stimulant Methylhexaneamine, resulting in a two-year suspension. Another incident occurred before his interim WBC heavyweight title fight in which traces of the banned anabolic steroid Dianabol were found. However, Whyte was cleared by UKAD for unintentionally taking the substance due to its extremely low levels.
