WBO welterweight titleholder Timothy Bradley will be using The Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA) for the third straight fight when he meets Manny Pacquiao on April 12 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, where Bradley won the belt from Pacquiao by split-decision in June of 2012.
In his last two fights, Bradley (31-0, 12 knockouts) rose from a 12th-round knockdown to secure a unanimous decision over Ruslan Provodnikov in March of last year before earning a split-decision over Juan Manuel Marquez in October.
Pacquiao (54-5-2, 38 KOs), who turned 35 in December, rebounded from the setback against Bradley and a knockout loss to Marquez by easily outpointing Brandon Rios in November in Macau, China.
Pacquiao and Rios were also randomly drug-tested by VADA, resulting in Rios' failed his post-fight drug test and his suspension for five months from the day of the fight by the China Professional Boxing Organization.
"I had it for the Provodnikov fight and the Marquez fight. I'm just trying to continue to do my do diligence as far as my career, and as far as cleaning up the sport," said Bradley. "I'm going to have the drug testing in this fight as well. We both have agreed to VADA. Like I said, we've both agreed to all of the terms and that's part of the terms, the VADA testing."
