WBC Statement: An “A” Sample UKAD collected from Mr. Dillian Whyte in relation with his bout against Oscar Rivas yielded an adverse finding. In light of that adverse finding, and pending the outcome of the WBC’s own investigation and adjudicatory process, the WBC is provisionally suspending the WBC’s recognition of Dillian Whyte as WBC interim world heavyweight champion and mandatory challenger of the division.
The WBC has notified Mr. Whyte and his team of the WBC’s suspension, and that it will afford Mr. Whyte the opportunity to present its position to the WBC at an investigative hearing which will take place at a place and time to be announced in the near future. Throughout its investigation and hearing, the WBC will afford Mr. Whyte and his team the opportunity to present any available information and materials, and any exculpatory evidence they might deem appropriate.
They should allow Whyte and Jarrell Miller to fight and allow them both steroid usage.
Just no testing at all
Typically boxers will take steroids like Clenbuterol or Human Growth Hormone or something along those lines. These are the types of steroids that help to cut weight, aid in quick recovery and/or help with your cardio.
You will very rarely see a boxer hitting the hardcore Anabolics. In fact my coach (Jesse Reid Sr.) who trained 25 world champions at last count, used to tell us NEVER HIT THE WEIGHTS! He said if you wanna look like a bodybuilder than go oil yourself up. Boxers want to be as small and lean as absolutely possible for their frame. Big muscles are bad for two main reasons. One, big muscles require LOTS of Oxygen to function. So you “run out of gas” much faster. Two, big muscles limit movement by physical impediment. A great example of that is ask one of your bodybuilding friends or someone in the gym to touch their elbows together. All that muscle gets in the way. Therefore your form suffers and Boxing is 100% about technique. People who have never trained before (civilians) tend to think that punch power comes from your arms… it does NOT. It comes from your feet, hips and shoulders. Technique is king! That’s why Heavyweight fights are rarely as entertaining as middleweight fights. Heavyweights are mostly just dinosaurs lumbering around looking to land a knockout. Light and Middleweight fights are where all the technique and action’s at!
found this on the net and thought it was interesting
Agree but it worked for Holyfield
A prime Mike Tyson would be the contradictory issue here.
I still don’t get why boxers give a crap about what the WBC says. Why do they give this organization so much attention. It’s run by a spoiled brat who thinks he’s the king of something. His father was even worse with his little tantrums that he would have. If no one would care to be ranked by these lunatics, then they’d be out of business and disappear.
I don’t get it either-like the WBC Interim World Heavyweight Championship means anything to a sports fan. Boxing was a mainstream sport in the days of eight weight divisions with ONE champion in each. Maybe could be again if these sanctioning bodies were put out of existance.
Also there were always sanctioning bodies. The New York State Athletic Commission once ruled the roost, and then the NBA (Now WBA) came into being. Even t4eh EBU was around.
this is what one has to do to get a shot at the title. You have these organizations so that one can getter a better shake at it, though it is probably that a lot of promoters give some money to these organizations to get some of their fighters ranked. Go figure why Tyson Fury is ranked by the WBC, WBO, but I am not sure he is ranked by the other two. But if you want to get a foot in the door, this is what you have to do. If these groups did not exist, and you just had promoters, it could be like when Butterbean was four round heavyweight champion, only guys he could beat got shots at him. Later you might get to be able to tello these groups to go stick it. Think about when Tarver fought Johnson at light heavyweight, and then tater lost to Hopkins, and Hopkins lost to Calzaghe, none of these groups involved, but at the same time, did Roy Jones deserve a shot at Calzaghe.
nicolas, I get what you’re saying but all I’m saying is if no one cared to be involved with the WBC then it wouldn’t survive. There are other sanctioning bodies that they can be ranked by. I know the others aren’t clean but they don’t go around thinking they are the higher authority like the WBC. The WBC think they are higher than the athletic commissions. Last I checked, they aren’t. They are also spoiled brats, I remember when Timothy Bradley became WBC champ he said he wanted to fight the other champions and Sulaiman responded saying the WBC championship isn’t good enough for you, relinquish it immediately. I remember a letter from bradly pretty much kissing his ass after. Years later Bradley opened his eyes, vacated it and never gave two squirts about the WBC ever again.
Yes, but Bradley got his foot in the door with the WBC, and afterwards when you get some credibility you can tell these organizations to shove it, just like Tarver and Johnson did back in 2004.
Can the world survive losing another of these “interim” champions from these sleazebag sanctioning bodies trying to suck up another sanctioning fee?
I agree somewhat with you, but Whyte seemed to be avoided by many of the champions. He proved himself before this debacle to be deserving of a title shot. Yet not one of the champions, Wilder, Joshua, (who had beaten him before winning the title) or the so called lineal champ would offer him a fight. Look what the WBO did by putting Usyk at number one above him, when Usyk had not even fought at heavyweight. Finally many people think that in the past there was only one champion, however in the 20’s and 30’s the EBU would often have different champions. The NBA came about because of the New York State Athletic Commission having a lot of influence. Other States, even in Canada Quebec would sometimes have there own world champion, though I don’t think it lasted that long. Finally of course you have the colored champions back in the early 40’s and before. In Ohio in the late 40’s I believe Essard Charles and Archie Moore fought for the world light heavyweight title, but only recognized in the state of Ohio. I would suggest that Lesenvitch and Mills, who were regarded as the Light Heavyweight champions of the world avoided those two. Maxim of course finally fought Moore in defending his world title, and we know how that went, he would also lose to Charles in a heavyweight championship match, as would Lesnevitch.
Hopefully it will all now come out after the hearing and we can all judge fairly based on the evidence DW gives.
A suspension isn’t a bad thing for Whyte so long as he gets reinstated as mandatory if the WBC finds favourably.
My guess (and it’s only a guess) is that Whyte took something which contained a banned substance (but not a PE substance) to maybe help heal an injury or cure an illness and presented evidence at his pre fight hearing which the commission were happy with and allowed him to fight.
What would seem strange to me was if he was juicing and at the same time paying for VADA testing for each of his fights.
If I was Whtye I would say that I had a Mexican Taco.
Worked for Canelo, not he is WBC Franchise Champion.
The WBC also said that they were not informed of the test result before the fight. This is another example of the chummy relationship that exists between the boxing boards of control and the promoters. The sanctioning organisation should have been told so that they could make a decision on whether the fight should have gone forward as a sanctioned bout. Greed is the main motivator here.
The problem is that the finding was so close to the fight (timewise). Having said that , you’d have thought that in this day and age they could have had the hearing with video link up to the WBC.
You’d have thought that there would have been a WBC rep on hand to attend the meeting. So either there needs to be a WBC rep on hand should such matters arise or they should trust UKAD or whoever the commission is.
Hearn himself wasn’t at the hearing and says he had no influence on the hearing.
And you believe Hearn? Come on… who do you think made the deal to make the immediate hearing happen. That’s not the normal process.
If joshua loses again, dillian whyte gets banned hows eddie hearn gonna try and sell his shit ppv’s. Here in the UK now nearly every decent fight has gone ppv, some not even decent have been ppv. Be glad to see the back of hearn and joshua.
That’s a shame I know people of West Indian descent drink roots but what is it this time.
Whyte shouldn’t have eaten that Mexican steak….
Sounds like some are making excuses for a drug cheat and blaming the sanctioning body which wasn’t informed and ignoring the fact that the other fighter was also not warned. U guys ok with that?
