Today, the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA) informed Matchroom, the Association of Boxing Commissions and the British Boxing Board of Control that Dillian Whyte had returned adverse analytical findings as part of a random anti-doping protocol.
In light of this news, the fight will be cancelled, and a full investigation will be conducted.

Buddy McGirt: „To be honest I’ve literally just heard about it myself, I was in bed watching Judge Judy. They say they’ve found an adverse analytical finding, what the hell is that? I’m very, very disappointed because Dillian was ready, I haven’t spoken to Dillian yet and it is hard to comment because I really don’t know what the hell is going on. I’ve had three different phone calls and three people telling me three different stories, so I really don’t know what’s happened. I’m asking what the adverse finding is, but no one can tell me what it is. And everyone is saying we don’t know what it is. I had a message saying Dillian has failed a drug test and I’m asking what’s in it.
I have never been in this situation before, it’s a fucked up feeling because of all the hard work that has gone in. Everybody has sacrificed. And it’s a week before the fight and he’s looking sharp and now this. It’s a big fucking let down. Camp has been great. I felt in my heart he was going to knock Joshua out. We trained yesterday and he was right on point, and I was thinking we were going to beat this motherfucker. Everything was on point and I was thinking we’ve got this motherfucker. It was totally different from the last training camp, no injuries, no nothing.
I stand by Dillian, I’m not going to turn my back on him. I will never do that, I will stand by him through thick and thin and right now that shit is thick, so I’ve really got to stand by him. But until they say what the substance is, I can’t make a statement. Everybody in the camp is going to get together in a couple of hours and find out what the hell is going on. It’s a kick in the balls.
I feel in my heart of hearts Dillian would never take anything illegal because he’s always been a straight forward guy and from being around him, he really loves his career, he cherishes it, and this a fight that could have put him right back up there, so why fuck it up? People should not be the judge and the jury until the evidence is proven. Everyone will have their opinion, but let’s wait and see what it is.
I would be very shocked if he did anything illegal but I know he didn’t and wouldn’t. This fight meant too much to him to risk it. He was really dedicated and worked hard for this fight. Dillian didn’t need to cheat to beat AJ because he was running on all cylinders in camp. I’m sorry this happened and we will wait for the truth to come out.
I’m not sure if Joshua will fight a back up opponent because you set up mentally for an opponent and then you get someone else, so it’s hard to rise to the occasion for a different guy. But if he’s planning to fight Wilder, fight, keep your tools sharp.“
