Anthony Joshua: British heavyweight says 'boxing clearly has a doping problem'
In 2019 Andy Ruiz Jr stepped in on a month's notice when American Jarrell Miller tested positive for several banned substances.
However, in global boxing there is no standardisation of anti-doping rules, leading to fighters, like Joshua, choosing to insist on additional steps to provide regular testing. Other high profile athletes to fail tests and serve suspensions include Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez in 2018 and Tyson Fury in 2015 - with both blaming the consumption of suspect meat."The thing is, people do wonder 'how long has this been going on?'.
Welterweight Benn failed two voluntary tests for female fertility drug clomifene before October's cancelled bout with Chris Eubank Jr.. Both Britons returned "adverse findings" in tests carried out by the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association , but the BBBoC is guided by Ukad testing. Hearn says this was down to Joshua's refusal to fight Whyte after learning of the results at 07:00 BST on Saturday morning, but also said they had learned from the mistakes made regarding Benn's tests.
