“British Boxing Is In The Dirt”: Boxing World Erupts As Dillian Whyte Tries To Prove His Innocence After Drug Test Fiasco

Dillian Whyte‘s attempt to prove his innocence has failed to convince the fans. On August 12, the British boxer was set to square off against Anthony Joshua. The boxing world was eager to witness them again after their first clash in 2015. However, it appears that they will have to keep their excitement in abeyance. “Matchroom Boxing,” declared the fight canceled after Whyte tested positive in his pre-fight VADA drug test.

This is not the first instance the ‘Body Snatcher’ has been busted for using banned substances. The 35-year-old first tested positive for a banned stimulant after a victory in 2012. The second instance was in 2019, Whyte had a failed test but was later cleared of the charges. His third instance took place in August of this year, just over a week away from his bout against Joshua.

Meanwhile, Joshua would continue to fight the upcoming Saturday but against Josh Parker. Amidst this fiasco, Whyte denies taking any banned substances and expresses his disdain over the fight being called off. However, the fans do not buy it and instead called him out for testing positive multiple times. On these lines, let’s unwrap some fan reactions critiquing Whyte.
