That's confusing if he's fighting in Paris soon.
Very confusing. Hell...I was confused by reading it before I even realized his next fight is in Paris.
"His lawyer, Arnaud Pericard, told AFP that the first missed test came while Yoka was on a plane back from training in the United States, and the second came at Yoka's house in France while he was in the United States. Yoka says he "didn't know he was still subject to geolocation requirements".
Yoka is scheduled to face former French heavyweight champion CyrilLeonet in his next fight in Paris on April 7."
so.....maybe?

Hearn has got Wilder boxed in now (if Whyte wins). Either he takes a low %, or Hearn has Joshua fight Miller, Povetkin, Whyte or Pulev and Wilder has...... oh wait, has Wilder even been sorting out fights in case the Joshua negotiations fall through? In any case Joshua has fights lined up against credible opponents and Wilder will be forced to fight Whyte in the U.K.....making the Joshua fight bigger hahahaha
Don't get me wrong, I want to see the fight, but f these 2 are so good then 1 more fight won't matter.
Missing test=guilty. What do you mean only in France? Can he still fight outside of France than?

Unbelievable that people would make excuses and apologies for these fights to happen. Nobody's a boxing fan anymore. They are just cheerleaders for their favorite sports celebrities and promoters.
Better than crybabies likes you :)

based on what I read, I'm pretty sure he was only suspended in France. And it wasn't for testing positive. Apparently he no showed tests (he was in the USA and was subject to random tests back home in France)

Wasn't Yoka just banned for doping?

there are a lot of prospects (Dubois, Yoka, Teslenko, Hrgovic...hell, even Joe Joyce is getting a rub lately.) That will likely be thrust into that spot by 2020

Whyte will become a Mandatory anyway.So he is facing Whyte one way or another... Then he can either go to the UK For more money, or try to keep the fight in America which would be a waste and useless.Or Wilder could agree he should be a Co-Main Event on the Undercard of the Joshua v Miller fight in New York.If i was him, go for Whyte in the UK, Whyte is easy work for a lot of money,low risk-high
reward
Yeah, at some point he’ll become the mandatory. He isn’t now.
Wilder is not going to the UK to fight him.
Nah, he's not going to the UK. He knows that doesn't guarantee him a shot at Joshua. He'll fight in the US against an American fighter.

I believe it's possible to maximise UK ppv sales and us interest. Wilder will be more known in the UK and aj in the US for when Hearn wants to step up to vegas
I actually don't mind those two fights.
Think about this - after Wilder-AJ our only hope is that fatass Fury gets his act together. Besides that, we'd have to wait for Olympic guys to finally make it to World level.
Joshua is fighting Parker, who's a titlist and not a bad fighter himself.
Wilder just fought Ortiz, a bogeyman who was a top5 guy.
There's no reason why either one of them can't have an "easier" fight before meeting each other next summer.
Plus think about this, Whyte runs his mouth quite a bit. Miller talks even more sh1t than Fury. How nice would be it if both of them got KTFO so they shut their traps once and for all? Or we can get an upset which would blow the division wide open.
Truly, they're pretty damn good options.
Hearn will offer UK PPV as it will be a PPV Fight in the UK.Where he will still be the A Side and get the lions share of money.What's the alternative for Deontay ? I then expect Joshua v Miller to be in New York then as long as both win.Hearn and Haymon will assess where this fight should take place by looking at the numbers of both fights ? Then BOOM, Joshua v Wilder,December 2018

These are both fights I would love to see!
If AJ and Wilder really are the 2 best active HWs they will both win and that will set up a fight between them nicely.
Message to Wilder fanboys - ffs, stop acting like spoilt little bratty children!
"Muuuhh .. I don't want that one, I want that one .. and I want it nowwww!!!"
