    As per Eddie’s twitter.

    Wonder who the replacement will be.

    It was a ridiculous opponent in the first place.

    Chuckles Martin would be a good option, doubt he'd take the same check Spong was on mind.

    Good how Hearn was able to notify us, and the process of what is happening with this one.

    He has tested positive for this
    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clomifene

    Is this similar to what Jon Jones had in his system a while back?

    My notes are limited but would they be using this to try and lower other levels in their tests?

    Makes me laugh how Eddie is tweeting saying a reserve opponent is in place.. strange how Rivas didn’t have a reserve in place when whyte got done... it’s almost like it’s one rule for one and another for another..

    bit of a silly comment really. Of course they don’t have a reserve in place for the away fighter. If the home fighter can’t fight it’s more than likely they’d pull the show.

    Yes it was said tongue in cheek, more at the fact this has been raised as an issue whereas was completely swept under the carpet for Whyte

    I cant imagine many good heavyweights will want to fight Uysk at short notice. VADA seem very good at catching the cheats.

    you say that but they cleared Whyte, so what happened there?

    agree about the Usyk part though!

    Oh dear! Another favourite boxer of @Aydamn who was due to fly out to watch the fight apparently.

    Are you still planning to go?
