Nacho Beristain, the trainer of former four division world champion Juan Manuel Marquez, took offense with the recent statements of WBO welterweight champion Timothy Bradley - who recently told BoxingScene Radio that he was willing to "walk away" from his fight with Marquez unless the Mexican veteran underwent Olympic style drug testing with either VADA or USADA.
Marquez is set to challenge Bradley on October 12th at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas. Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum has asked the Nevada State Athletic Commission to handle the anti-doping tests, but Bradley is not satisfied with those terms. He told BoxingScene Radio that his fight contract clearly calls for either VADA or USADA to be responsible for the anti-doping tests. Unless Marquez agrees to get tested by either company, Bradley will not move forward with the fight.
