    The fight is due to take place in Russia, so it was planned that the RUSADA (Russian Anti-Doping) would handle the drug testing. However, K2 have said they will walk away from the fight unless the testing is handled by the German based agency who usually handle his testing. Both are affiliated with WADA.

    Hryunov has said he will put forward the idea that both agencies will test the fighter's samples.

    Not quite sure what they're hoping to achieve with this demand. RUSADA is a World Anti-Doping Agency affiliated professional body. Who would threaten to walk away from a $20m pay day over this?


    This story can be scene elsewhere on the internet.

    Wladimir about to walk away from the biggest pay day of his life because he don't want to get tested. That's the bottom line. Is he scared of Russian Needles?

    If they protest to having testing done by both agencies they must be hiding something or just want a way out.

    Povetkin needs to let the commission do their job. He knows Wlad is afraid of needles. He needs a 30 day cutoff

    I've just read about it and that's what is likely gonna happen, Povetkin's promoter Hryunov said he was willing to accept any supplementary test.

    That was just Bönte showing who's the boss. :deal

    I read the article again. It does not say that Wladimir refuses both agencies. We will see what happens. If he has nothing to hide there is no reason why he should not agree.

    If it doesn't happen. we all know what's up.
    Once again Hryunov just want Wlad to take additional testing... that's it. Blood and Urine samples..........
