Anyone actually know what their official fighting status's are? They both make out like they are free do what they want and people are advoiding them? I pretty sure they are both banned though?

Would like to see them both back but annoys me when they won't make it official what is actually happening

There's really no such thing as a complete ban in boxing since there is no singular authority.

I don't know what either are up to, most likely waiting for a big money fight to be gifted to them. Or gearing up for their next fight

What age is Tarver now? Must be getting on a bit!

Povetkin probably still dares to face them, somehow he doesn't fight that often.

The WBA issued Browne with a 2 year ban that ends in March 2018.

HOLY SHIT!!!!!
You are trying to tell us an American failed a drug test.
I thought they only made eastern European fighters fail tests.
You know since you continue to claim that all Americans are on drugs and bribe the testing companies.

Mike Tyson has never been caught on anything else as weed, despite fully admitting at later age that American dopingtests are joketests, Evander Holyfield same story, even Stiverne, who has been caught drinking illegal substances in the act hasn't been tested positive. The rest of the world on the other hand, get caught all the time, usually at the most annoying moments. Even moments that would actually make them a weaker athlete at the moment of the actual fight, receiving massive bans, fines, name it, this while passing lie detectors together with their entire team, having American substances in their Russian body, how is that possible?

Americans only get caught when they aren't in their prime, when the Americans themself see someone else as their top contender. Tarver wasn't in his prime, wasn't a top contender and wasn't made a rolemodel in the first place either. There isn't enough money around Tarver.

He is 49, but he looks about 35!

That photo was probably taken when he was younger, but I saw Tarver recently at a boxing event and he does look young for his age.

I agree.

I've seen him recently on TV & he looks way younger than 48.
