    Let's add some stakes to this, Wilder puts up his bronze medal vs Yokas gold. Winner takes all. Deontay wins he can go by the Golden Bomber, yoka wins he can throw the bronze in the trash in typical French fashion.

    Imagine feeling the need to cheat against Yoka of all fighters...

    Embarrassing.

    Yoka better not get on his high horse about Okolipussy testing positive, after all, he went on walkabout, conveniently missing 3 tests of his own. That being said, imagine having such little confidence in your abilities that you have to dope for Tony Yoka. It couldn't happen to a shittier guy, with an even shittier style.

    Joe Joyce as a last minute replacement?

    Probably done it for other fights to be fair, he's just been caught for the first time.

    IMO both should be banned for life; not necessarily because of the doping (but also because of the doping), but due to the fact they are both eye cancer.

    Okolie's adverse finding was for GHRP 2 and its M8 metabolite.

    GHRP 2 is a synthetic substance that stimulates the body to release human growth hormone.

    Why don’t the big guys have balls?

    Fury should offer to step in. He’s not damaged from that ass whooping of Makhmudov. He’s still in shape from that camp. He’d win every round against Yoka. Yeah, no real money, but the eyes that would bring man.

    do it. Win every round. Call out AJ at the end of it. “Hey, Anthony, what are you doing? I just took a fight on 4 days notice. I thought it would get your attention. Where are you? FIGHT ME YOU WANKER”

    Not even a shabby replacement? Was Frank padding Okolie's record.

    Hrgovic is boring?. His fights against Joyce, Dubois, and Zhang were great fun! He throws the right hand with abandon, gets hit a lot. gasses out, bleeds everywhere, and is impossible to knock down. He's been in some awful mismatches (another one with Allen coming up), but beyond that he's pretty entertaining.
