SHOCKING NEWS: Oleksandr Usyk Fails Substance Test – Daniel Dubois DEMANDS Title Be Stripped!
In a bombshell development that’s sending shockwaves through the boxing world, Oleksandr Usyk has reportedly failed a post-fight substance test following his controversial victory over Daniel Dubois. The Ukrainian heavyweight champion, who retained his unified titles in a thrilling bout, is now at the center of a doping scandal that could change the outcome of the fight — and potentially his legacy.

The Failed Test
Sources close to the situation have revealed that Usyk tested positive for a banned substance in a routine VADA (Voluntary Anti-Doping Association) test conducted shortly after the fight at Wembley Stadium. While the specific substance has yet to be officially disclosed, insiders claim it may be a performance enhancer linked to increased endurance and recovery — both key elements in Usyk’s dominant showing that night.

The test result is reportedly undergoing secondary analysis, but early indications suggest a confirmed violation of anti-doping protocols.
Dubois Demands Action
British heavyweight Daniel Dubois wasted no time issuing a public statement calling for the result of the fight to be overturned and the titles to be stripped from Usyk.
“If this is true, then it was never a fair fight to begin with,” Dubois told reporters at a press briefing in London. “I came in clean, I came in ready, and I fought my heart out. If he cheated — the belts shouldn’t be his. This is a disgrace to the sport.”
Dubois’ team has formally submitted an appeal to the British Boxing Board of Control (BBBoC), as well as the WBA, WBO, and IBF — the sanctioning bodies involved in the championship fight — demanding that the win be nullified and a no-contest ruling applied.
Usyk Camp Responds
Usyk’s team has strongly denied the allegations, claiming the test results are either inaccurate or part of a broader effort to tarnish the Ukrainian champion’s reputation.
“Oleksandr has always been a clean athlete,” said his manager, Egis Klimas. “We believe this is either a lab error or a smear campaign. We will fight this and prove his innocence.”
However, fans and critics alike are divided. While many are urging caution and due process, others believe the evidence could be damning — especially given Usyk’s dramatic fifth-round comeback and seemingly endless stamina during the 12-round battle.
What Happens Next
The final outcome will rest in the hands of the governing bodies. VADA has yet to release an official statement, but a full investigation is reportedly underway. If the findings are upheld, Usyk could face a lengthy suspension, fines, and the loss of his titles.
As the boxing world holds its breath, the scandal marks yet another dark chapter in the sport’s long and complicated history with performance-enhancing substances. For Dubois, it may be the second chance he never expected — and for Usyk, it could be the fight that undoes everything he’s worked for.
