What test did Eubank post on his social media?

Was that UKAD?

Yeah. Kalle pretty much confirmed it was UKAD and that UKAD is the only testing for this fight.

When Shalom was asked about what testing was happening he said it was confidential and then just waffled.

I get that they want to maximise their money but Shalom has spoken at length about his issues with testing and with the Benn stuff so to see this from a Sky Sports PPV headline fight is really poor.

As a reminder there were 64 pre fight tests last year and 153 post fight tests conducted by UKAD. There were over 2,000 fights in the U.K. so over 4,000 instances of guys having a pro fight.

If we’re relying on UKAD then we’ve got no chance. The bulk of people caught is through additional testing. This year it’s Whyte and Helenius in the U.K. with both coming from VADA. In the US we’ve had Puello and Hanna Gabriels test positive this year. Both through VADA. Baumgardner through DFS.

“It’s confidential” is code word for “no there isn’t VADA testing”

I wonder if we see more fights dropping VADA and the new narrative will be “we only recognise UKAD”

Just listened to Shalom trying to justify no vada testing, this guy is horrendous and frankly an embarrassment.

All Smith bros have constantly been outspoken about PEDs and there’s never been any evvy that they’ve done any.

No proper testing for this fight?

Is it out of all possibility to assume Liam is that confident of the win that he’s just letting Jnr juice?

Maybe someone with more knowledge of these things like polecateddy can answer, if for arguments sake Smith was injured and required pain killing injections or medication to control swelling while training, would those meds cause a failed VADA test, just wondering if that’s why they dropped VADA?

I saw in the post fight interviews some guy with Smiths team kicked off and made some comment about "taking needles in the arse" pointing towards Eubanks team

Think its going to become the new narrative , Just simply refuse Vada then you can't get caught , can't se the promoters insisting on it either , after all they don't want any more of there stars banned theve not got many
