Spong Fails VADA Test

[oogiebe]

More to come, but apparently Tyrone has failed a VADA test. An 'adverse' finding was reported by Eddie Hearn this evening.

Fight is all but off.

It has been sent to Illinois Commission and we should know more by morning EST. I wonder who the stand in fighter who hearn says is in the ready.

It would be epic if they just put usyk in with Chisora.. doubt Chisora would accept it for anything but massive money but it would save one card at least.

If only
I think we all want to see Usyk make his heavyweight debut. And that would be some statement to take on Chisora.

Think there are pro and cons for both fighters.
Chisora was preparing for a relatively mobile heavyweight with fast hands in Parker. But Usyk is a step beyond in skill level. But then again Parker is a legitimate former champion, and Usyk is untested at this level.

For Usyk, Chisora has shown he struggles against the more skilled fighters in the past. But then again Chisora is a seasoned heavyweight, and a clear step up from Spong.

But in terms of positioning, it would make sense for both fighters. Usyk would legitimise his run at a title, and I think Usyk is a big enough name, that it could possibly do the same for Chisora.

If Chisora wants one final title tilt, this could open the door, and what better time to face Usyk - before he has acclimatised to the jump up in weight

No chance of Usyk versus Chisora, unless the Ukrainian is willing to remain sidelined for several months or faces an interim opponent.

It's going to be Chazz Witherspoon.

[Evander]

I'm losing count of the failed drug tests, it's easier to tally up the clean ones as the numbers are lower and easy to track.

He has worse problems now. He's been charged with a cougar escaping from his home and other charges.

The article was from two days ago. He's recently been charged, so I guess there was uncertainty as to whether the state of Florida would do it.

OK, saw an article he was charged weeks ago. Doesn't matter really, he isn't a serious boxer we need to discuss.
