Derek Chisora admits taking medicine in Ibiza in wild rant at Anthony Joshua occasion

Chisora faces Gerald Washington on the undercard of Joshua’s rearranged bout with Robert Helenius, after the two-time former unified world champion’s battle with Whyte was cancelled as a result of Whyte failing a medication check.

Whyte launched a press release denying taking the substance or any wrongdoing, and has vowed to clear his title in the end.

It learn: “I am shocked and devastated to learn of a report by VADA of adverse findings relating to me. I only learned of it this morning and am still reacting to it. I have also just seen the fight is being cancelled without having any chance to demonstrate my innocence before the decision was taken.

“I can verify with out a shadow of a doubt that I’ve not take the reported substance, on this camp or at any level in my life. I’m fully harmless and ask to be given the time to undergo the method of proving this with out anyone leaping to conclusions or a trial by media.”
