A recent occurrence traversed shocking waves in the boxing community. Furthermore, it also had a significant impact on a highly anticipated fight. The protagonist of this narrative is none other than Dillian Whyte. Where Whyte’s name is synonymous with prowess inside the ring, it’s now covered with speculations outside the ring. Moreover, his recent drug test controversy is garnering a lot of limelight.

Not only this, it led to the cancellation of his highly-anticipated bout with Anthony Joshua. Additionally, AJ finally found a last-minute replacement in Robert Helenius and emerged victorious. Recently, Teddy Atlas, a legendary figure in boxing, has weighed in on the situation too. Furthermore, his reaction is nothing short of explosive.

What is Atlas’ opinion on the Dillian Whyte drug test?

In a recent episode of The Fight with Teddy Atlas, Teddy didn’t shy away from sharing his viewpoint on the matter. Atlas said, “That’s not the first time he tested dirty. A few years ago, I went to bat for this guy, White. What was it? That’s right, two years ago, whatever, he failed, attached. That’s right, I said I believed in him. I went on our air and gave him a chance to prove himself, and I can’t remember all the details, but I think he was vindicated, at least on one of the charges.”

Atlas further eked saying, “I don’t know how many times he actually wound up being charged or whatever, but I thought he got vindicated on at least one of them. I’d like to always be put it all out there, not just one side, but he is here’s the story here for me: Who cares? I mean, who cares? I mean, I’m sorry, but who cares about this? Who cared about the fight when it was out about this fight?”

Moreover, his blatant assessment of Whyte’s history with drug testing is a stark reminder that the sport’s credibility is on the line. “Here’s my take: it’s off, right? Dirty drug test by Whyte, another one. That’s it. All right, those are facts,” Atlas declared, leaving no room for ambiguity.

Whyte’s drug test fiasco has not only impacted the immediate fight scheduled with Joshua but also sparked interrogations about his boxing future.
