The Kovalev vs. Melikuziev boxing event scheduled for Jan. 30 has been canceled following a positive test for a banned substance on behalf of Sergey Kovalev through the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA). Upon learning of Kovalev’s adverse finding, the California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) determined that they must cancel the event.
Golden Boy: While we are crushed for “The Bully” (Melikuziev), we know that he will nevertheless have a tremendous year in 2021. We look forward to our next scheduled boxing event on Feb. 13.
What really happened, Kovalev didn’t pay off the Las Vegas drug test mob? Mel. said he didn’t care and wanted to fight.
Doctor Margaret and the Las Vegas (Ne)VADA Mafia drug testing mob. Mel. said he didn’t care and wanted to fight so they could have held the fight. Much more to these stories than they tell you about.
I still think the Kovalev era is over. Time to move on everyone.
agree. he can always hold his head high though that many felt he won the first match with Andre Ward. But sadly though, he has shown himself lacking in other good character qualities. That might also have been what hurt him from getting his just decision over Ward in that first match. Should have been 114-113 or 115-112 for him.
I agree, I would still like to know what happend to his right hand
One of the best right hands and over the past several fights he never uses it
Not everyone can work as hard as Kovalev at being an unlikable asshole.
It’s bad when a fighter cheat, and even worse, when that fighter turns out to be some one like” The Krusher”…. he just doesn’y have the edge he once had especially after losses to Ward and Canelo.. to me ,he all washed up….
I wonder what kind of substance was found in that adverse result against Kovalev. For sure we should rule out alcohol, because Mr. Kovalev normal and standard level has been around 0.40 percent BAC all the times
What is really sad is that some of the boxers on the undercard are now not fighting because of what appears to be drug cheating. Very sad for them.
