    Weird, because he doesn't have any boxing match on boxrec dated by the 27/28th of September 2014.

    I know he's from Eastern Europe and these's some prejudice on some guys doping in the eastern. I also know he's been banned after they found some illegal substance and his Wilder fight didn't happen. But given his character, I really doubt he took any of these things on purpose.

    He's also given his point of view in a training camp video for his Joshua fight:
    This content is protected

    at around 11:25.

    I for my part remain a big fan of his and appreciate his career. One of the guys who should've gotten a big title with his skill and character.

    I like Pov but looks like he's a cheat. Although discounting 10 years of results seems harsh. How can they prove he kept doing it for every fight.

    Huh? What the hell kind of crap is this?

    He popped for ostarine in 2016 and was removed from all the rankings for it. What is the point of this now 3 years into his retirement?

    I will go absolutely berserk if they change his KTFO of Whyte to a NC.

    How and why do you prove this now and not back in 2015 for example? What is the point of this...

    It's all a conspiracy ... isn't that what we say when Pov gets caught?

    Stopped caring years ago, 90% of them are on illegal enhancers and signed a waver that outlines the risks of injury and death

    If they overturn his record from that period I will still acknowledge it and you all can acknowledge it too. Its a choice we all can individually make.

    Someone spent time and money doing this. Seems like their priorities are a little out of whack. And that penalty is harsh and seems targeted
