The orange bout wasn't the Walcott fight, that was a back injury.

The Orange bout was a rematch against Julio Mederous.

I can't understand why I got those mixed up, maybe me being senile Possibly because both were round 2.

Anyway, the Orange controversy, Johnson ate an Orange before the fight which he believed to be contaminated, he collapsed on the way to the ring and did so in the ring and the fight was considered to be "fixed" at the time.

After the fight he failed a drug test, to which was believed to be from the Orange.

Read up on it, interesting stuff
