    Have seen a few people suggesting this shows how much matchroom do for PED testing. Which I do get.

    Then you remember who they acted with Whytes Rivas fail and the Benn situation

    For what it’s worth a world title fight last week with a fighter that previously popped had zero additional testing besides the regular commission ones. That’s how often other promoters test. Particularly in America.

    For another example Dubois vs Joyce had zero additional testing attached. Likewise Joyce vs Parker.

    just for context;
    Serrano vs Hardy no additional testing
    Meyer vs Wildheart no additional testing
    Joyce vs Parker no additional testing
    Valdez vs Navarette no additional testing
    Dubois vs Joyce no additional testing
    Navarette vs Valdez no additional testing
    Okolie vs Light no additional testing


    Benn vs Eubank additional testing
    Taylor vs Cameron additional testing
    AJ vs Franklin additional testing
    AB vs linardatou additional testing
    Wood vs Lara additional testing

    See the theme?

    Crazy that world title fights like Valdez vs Navarette and Okolie vs Light had no additional drug testing. Even Joyce vs Parker, remember a PPV fight, only had UKAD testing. Promoters definitely need to be questioned on this. I think Frank Warren and Ben Shalom don't bother due to the additional cost and that they can't afford for their shows to fall through. It doesn't even have to be VADA testing, there are other, cheaper and less stringent drug testing agencies available.

    Sounds like she's got Benn's outlook on it aswell.
    Another battle ffs.
    It's like they are being picked on for no reason

    There's a common theme occuring with these boxers and their positive tests

    Boxer:
    "I would never cheat"
    "My previous two tests were all negative"
    "I'm going to do everything I can to clear my name"

    Promotor:
    "They need to go through the process now"
    "They need to be given a fair hearing"

    Essentially all that ends up happening is legal back and fors, mudslinging from the boxer's legal team, strangulation of the board and then ultimately it's all hush hush until it fizzles out or in Con Bent's instance, he finds some kind of loophole to exploit.

    Make no mistake about it though. These cuunts are all cheating and on PED's

    Does anyone know or can remember what the FCK happened to the previous Dillian Whyte positive test? The one where he fought Oscar Rivas?

    Also UKAD and BBBOfc are appealing the decision by NDAP to lift his suspension

    Eddie Hearn says "Ohhh it's all about ego now"

    What the fack was it when Con Bent refused to go to the board with his findings, or refused to meet them and played hide and seek with them or when he withdrew his licence.

    What the fack was that if that wasnt ego as well, you lanky fack.
