"Lawrence Okolie stated, 'Before anyone starts imagining the worst, following my bicep injury last year, I sustained an elbow injury on the same arm during this camp. I had a treatment on it and now here we are. I truly hope sense prevails.'"
"'I will of course be fully co-operating with all the relevant authorities and I'm confident any investigation will clear my name,' Okolie added in his personal post."
"The promoter Queensberry announced, 'Last night the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (Vada) informed Queensberry that Lawrence Okolie returned an adverse finding following an anti-doping test conducted ahead of the show.'"
Lawrence Okolie, a heavyweight title contender, faces uncertainty after a failed drugs test before his scheduled bout with Tony Yoka. The Voluntary Anti-Doping Association informed Queensberry of an adverse finding. Okolie, ranked No 1 by the WBC, expressed hope for a resolution and stated he will cooperate with authorities. He mentioned sustaining injuries during training, which he believes contributed to the situation. Yoka, his opponent, has a history of doping violations, having served a one-year ban in 2018 for failing to provide samples.
