Alexander Povetkin, Anthony Joshua, Luis Ortiz, Lucas Browne, Tyson Fury : Be like.



Gracias Don Mauricio Sulaiman and the Americans send their regards. We await the trolls to condemn Vada as a means to duck.

All this for one fighter, Wilder, because 15 is all he fights. Why not warn everyone in the top5

That train is never late!

Every champion and any top 15 rated fighter in the WBC is required to bind themselves to out of competition and in-competition random testing.

Yes! This is what I have been wanting for years. Of course we will have wait to see if it works as there might be problems concerning contenders living in 'exotic' locations, but for now I am very happy.

This is a move towards slowing down PED usage among elite level boxers so I'm a big fan of this. Hope the WBC doesn't f#ck it up & I hope all the alphabet groups latch on to this concept to make elite level boxing as clean as it possibly can be..

The UFC has been doing this for about a year & they got cats all around the globe as well. It should be doable. I think they basically freelance out the testing to local WADA caliber testing organisations so as long as you aren't in the Amazon jungle or living on a deserted island there is someone within driving distance of anyone on the globe.

I am curious how they are going to handle people that aren't in the location they are supposed to be in that usually has a 3 strike policy (3x you are missing = the same as a positive test basically) with most groups that do 24/7/365 testing like this. I'm guessing this info is on their site, but I haven't read THAT much about it yet.

Call this the PEDvetkin rule.

Funny though how the WBC waits until Floyd retires to announce this
