The CLEAN BOXING PROGRAM (CBP), created by the WBC in association with the Voluntary Anti Doping Agency (VADA), conducted the first set of random tests with Sheffield`s Kell Brook, who will be contesting for the WBC/IBO/IBF/WBA middleweight championships against Gennady “GGG” Golovkin.
Brook highlighted on his social networks, just how proud and willing he is to participate in the CBP, highlighting the importance of maintaining our beloved sport, clean.
Brook (36-0, 25KOs) fights Golovkin (35-0, 32KOs) on September 10 at the O2 Arena in London, England, in what it is expected to be an extraordinary, fantastic and memorable match, flaring and igniting between two undefeated fighters.
