Can a fighter decline blood/hair testing for religious reasons?

[Dosumpthin]

Serious question.


Can, let's say Canelo, decline any further testing and claim religious beliefs?

[KingHippo]

Can we have a good fight on May 5th instead of GGG vs Spike O'Sullivan?

Can Pacquiao fight Matthyse without Daddy Arum signing a parental consent form??

[_Maxi]

No.

[Vlad_]

Then don’t fight for “religious” reasons in the first place.

[Eff Pandas]

Nah, but he can be scared of scissors.

[Raggamuffin]

Serious question.

No. And if that ever happened...then you might as well allow PED use in boxing.

You can only be scared of needles while having multiple tattoos

[boliodogs]

He could but it would be the same as failing the test. A boxer's religious beliefs don't change the rules. They are the same for everyone.
