The Volunteer Anti Doping Association under the renowned Dr. Margaret Goodman has cleared heavyweight world boxing champion Deontay Wilder and challenger Chris Arreola following random drug tests.
The tests were conducted under the Clean Boxing Program of the World Boxing Council which is the only professional boxing organization that conducts random drug tests.
The World Boxing Council heavyweight world champion, American Deontay Wilder, defends his crown this Sunday, Manila Time, against Chris Arreola, in the main event at the Legacy Arena in Birmingham, Alabama, with the challenger painfully aware this is his third and last chance to win the title.
The fight is presented by DiBella Entertainment and TGB Promotions, and it will be broadcast via FOX Sports.
This will be the 4th defense of Wilder after he won the title defeating Bermane Stiverne in January 2015.
The champion says he`s extra motivated to fighting on home turf in Alabama, promising a truly memorable show.
The WBC reports that Arreola comes from drawing with Fred Kassi but due to his aggressiveness, strength, and a slice of luck, which he admits he didn`t deserve and must justify, he got an unexpected last chance.
