Would fWank or Queensbury be proud of how quickieg/dribble/Dev Sahni has conducted himself on Boxrec?
It doesn`t paint too clever a picture of fWanks employees .. even if only a tea boy.

Hearn Distancing Himself From Whyte's Drug Testing Scandal: “I Don't Know Him Well Enough“
“There are quite a few differences [between the Benn and Whyte situations] .... firstly the tests, the results and the substances were very different. Secondly, the conversations between the teams were very different, Benn vs Eubank was a co-promotion, AJ vs Whyte was a pure Matchroom promotion," Hearn told Talk Sport.
“Eubank’s team wanted to investigate the situation further and after taking medical advice they were willing to proceed with the bout subject to what the British Boxing Board of Control have to say. In this instance, AJ and his team looked at the results and wanted to terminate the contract immediately."
Hearn has supported Benn aggressively throughout his fight to clear his name, but the veteran promoter will not be involved in Whyte's upcoming battle.
“Firstly, I don’t represent Dillian, so I can’t talk on his behalf. What I can say is, I am surprised and I'm in shock, he has employed VADA testing meticulously over his career. I had an email as early as this morning from his team to say that there is a strict confidentiality on his behalf, not on my behalf and he's got a big fight on his hands," Hearn said.
"We'll let him go through that process and see how it pursues. But I was in big shock. On Saturday, when we found out, I was definitely surprised and he's got a tough road ahead."
“I don’t know Dillian Whyte necessarily well enough; I haven’t looked into the science enough, I would like to think that he is innocent because I don’t like the fact that he would have tried to gain an advantage in this fight. But we also cannot ignore the situation," Hearn said.

Hearn Notified By Whyte's Legal Team, Unable To Discuss VADA Report Information
Eddie Hearn, promoter for two-time heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua, explained what transpired in the last few days with respect to Dillian Whyte's most recent drug testing scandal.
Whyte was scheduled to face Joshua in a rematch this coming Saturday night in London. The fight was called off last Saturday, when Hearn and Joshua received the news that there were "adverse findings" in Whyte's drug testing protocol with VADA.
Joshua, after reviewing the test results with his team, immediately told Hearn to cancel the fight.
Whyte has since been replaced by Robert Helenius.
"I was on East Coast time away [on vacation] and I was made aware at 8PM, about to go for a bite to eat, again East Coast time... it was 12:00, 12:30, 12:45, whatever it was, Saturday morning UK. I hadn't seen the email [from VADA], but I had a WhatsApp from Shaun Palmer, our head counsel. And he said that we need to speak urgently or something like that. I speak to Shaun... 'Dillian Whyte has failed a drugs test.' I'm like 'what!' He said 'have you seen the email?' I went to the email, the results are there," Hearn explained to Boxing Social.
"After what happened with the Conor Benn situation, you become emotionally numb in those situations. You've been through them before and nothing can really hurt you or break you, you just have to find a way to go 'f------ cheers, thank you very much, are you really doing this to me again? Yes you are, f--- you, let's go to work.' And obviously the first thing that you have to do in that situation is speak to everybody involved.
"The most important thing was to speak to Anthony Joshua and say 'where's your head at?' I didn't want to tell him a 1 in the morning, because I didn't want to affect his sleep. But when I woke up, I had a message from AJ, because I was 5 hours behind. He had found out, been told. He said that 'I'm really disappointed for Matchroom and all the work that you've put into this show.' And I said 'don't worry about us, you've put 12 weeks in. You've been training harder than you've ever trained in your life and made unbelievable sacrifices. What do you want to do?' And his response was "I want to fight, get me in a fight.'
Hearn, due to legal reasons, is unable to reveal the exact substance(s), the date of the drug test(s) or any information in connection to Whyte's VADA tests.
"We've been notified as well, by Dillian Whyte's legal team, that the information from the test is confidential. And I can't put myself in a position to breach that information and also, it's his fight now. He's got to be given the opportunity to save his career and to go through this process. I'm sure that [test] information will leak out there, I'm sure that it will get out from Dillian or whatever, but it won't be coming from me," Hearn explained.
Veteran reporter Dan Rafael recently reported on social media that Whyte had failed "multiple tests" in the VADA protocol. Hearn was unable to confirm or deny the information.
"Again, all part of the testing procedure that you're going to hear from Dillian Whyte. But what I can tell you is, that we received the information on Saturday morning," Hearn said.
This is the third drug testing scandal in Whyte's career. He was banned for two years in connection to a positive drug test in 2012, and he also tested positive for a banned substance in 2019 but was ultimately cleared of those charges by UKAD.

Hearn Praises VADA For Catching 'PED' in Test - Confirms Whyte Does Not Have BBBofC License
Eddie Hearn, promoter for heavyweight star Anthony Joshua, was able to save this coming Saturday's event at The O2 in London - after a positive drug test nearly derailed the entire card.
Joshua was scheduled to fight Dillian Whyte in a rematch.
Last Saturday, Hearn revealed that Whyte was pulled from the fight after "adverse findings" in Whyte's drug testing protocol with VADA.
Whyte has since been replaced by division veteran Robert Helenius.
Because Hearn was put on notice by Whyte's legal team, he's unable to disclose the information contained in VADA's report on Whyte - including the names of the substance(s).
"I can't [tell you details from the test]. I've been put on notice by his [legal] team as well. And also, it's not fair of me to come out and start giving you information that I don't know enough about that might jeopardize this very important moment that's coming up for him," Hearn said to IFL TV.
However, Hearn has given praise to VADA for their testing system which flagged the "performance enhancing drug" in Whyte's system.
"A good thing here, is that the testing that we've paid for here - above and beyond British Boxing Board of Control testing - has found that a fighter about to enter a bout has a performance enhancing drug in his system - which is a good thing. We're all disappointed and gutted that the fight is not happening," Hearn said.
Additionally, Hearn revealed that Whyte is not currently licensed by the British Boxing Board of Control.
Whyte, who proclaimed his innocence in the current drug testing scandal, will look to clear his name and resume his career in the UK. However, because he's not a licensed fighter with the BBBofC, even Hearn is unsure of the exact process for Whyte to prove his innocence.
"Dillian Whyte is not licensed by the British Boxing Board of Control. So, what happens now? He has to clear his name, but at the same time he can't be effectively banned or have his license suspended or removed from the British Boxing Board of Control, because he's not licensed there. Does that make sense? He needs to clear his name, he'll want to do that, but I don't even know the process that you have to go through to do that," Hearn explained.
"One thing you can't do is clear your name with VADA, because they are not a disciplinary organization. They are a reporting organization. Does that make sense? So effectively, Dillian Whyte right now can go to another commission and ask for a license or ask for permission to box. I think most off the back of that result, would say 'we want to have a disciplinary hearing'... I have no idea."
According to most observers, Whyte will eventually have to deal with the BBBofC and their testing agency UKAD - at least if he wants to fight in the UK.

Re: Anthony Joshua vs. Dillian Whyte II | DAZN PPV - OFF
Hearn seems to be implying that Dillian Whyte wasn't licenced with the BBBofC. Which raises the rather interesting questions of why wasn't he and who was he actually licenced with?
