Kovalev is in the Clean Boxing Program for some time now. That means he doesnt need to sign on and off to VADA on a per fight basis. Kovalev can be tested 365 days a year, 24 hours a day. That's the VADA Clean Boxing Program.
Thats also what Nonito Donaire did all these years and only VERY few other fighters, it is basically showing everyone that you are a clean fighter.
Most fighters sign up for VADA only when they have fights, so they cant be tested year round and the testing period starts as soon the fight gets officially announced.
Ward signed up for VADA Testing for the first fight vs Kovalev (back then Kovalev and his team had more influence) but he did not sign up the rematch.
