Badou Jack witnessed a sudden change in his opponent from Jean Pascal to Derrick Collina after VADA found the former positive with three banned substances. Hence, the rematch had to be taken off from the co-main event of Mayweather vs Paul on June 6. As it also took away Badou Jack’s chance to avenge his loss to Pascal, ‘The Ripper’ appeared vexed with the Canadian boxer.

Speaking with Fight Hub TV, the former world champion shared his views on Jean Pascal’s failed drug test. “I wouldn’t talk to him because he is a scumbag, and he is a cheater. He should be in jail,” said ‘The Ripper’.

Meanwhile, a win over Pascal could have made Badou Jack into a world champion. Although Derrick Collina is a reputed opponent, he wouldn’t offer Jack a championship. Hence, the Swedish boxer might appear to have missed a big moment for his upcoming appearance.

However, Badou Jack never accepted the defeat and kept demanding a re-match.
