News about Demetrius Andrade

On Saturday night, David Benavidez wiped out Demetrius Andrade in a chilling fashion before handing over the gauntlet to Canelo Alvarez. Benavidez, the former middleweight and light-middleweight world champion who was fighting his way to a six-round victory against Andrade, the former middleweight and light-middleweight world champion who was billed as one of his career to date, won a six-round statement contest against him on his second appearance at 168 pounds. It was the latter who got off to a good start in Las Vegas and arguably banked the first three rounds as he displayed precisely the kind of boxing prowess the sport's diehard followers know he has in the locker.

David Benavidez, Demetrius Andrade, and David Morrell have been selected as the three fighters who might give Canelo Alvarez the most for his money, according to Eddie Hearn. Canelo last battled on September 30, winning by a landslide victory (119-108, 118-109, and 118-109) over Jermell Charlo, the undisputed champion at 154 pounds.

ISAAN KHAN - SPORTS JOURNALIST OF THE YEAR: A Sportsmail investigation reveals that boxers can now obtain performance-enhancing drugs before combats, which allows boxers to lawfully take performance-enhancing drugs before fights. Sportmail sheds a light on a sport marred with contradictions and a persistent lack of boxer care. At least 65 stimulants and ten narcotics, as well as a Class B drug amphetamine and a heroin substitute, are not being tested for by UK Anti-Doping (UKAD) in drug samples generated before battle day.

Conor Benn was one of the most popular boxing products just 23 days ago. 21 victories in as many fights, an almost unbeaten rate of growth, the charisma to match, and a true testament fight are just three days away. How quickly things can change. Chris Eubank Jr.'s pending fight against him, 30 years after their legendary fathers went toe-to-toe, was thrown out, but not without a fight. His image, on the other hand, was shattered quicker than an accidentless Samuel Vargas when an electric Benn blasted him out in fewer than a round last year. The source, as we all know, was MailOnline's bombshell revelation that Benn tested positive for banned substance clomifene, a women's fertility treatment that is listed under hormone and metabolic regulators and can raise testosterone in males.

And now a short word from Eddie Hearn. 'What is the point in signing up for drug testing if, when you fail, everyone goes, "Oh don't worry about it, just let him fight"? "Well, it's all right with UKAD," the argument goes, is completely irrelevant. You've committed to drug testing with VADA - the highest testing service, in my opinion.' He's correct, of course, he's right. But that's the problem with talking, isn't it? Some people pay attention to what you say. Some people have backed it up. A few people are even aware of it. A lot, Hearn talks. So, when Billy Joe Saunders returned a similar test before his fight with Demetrius Andrade in 2018 and was fighting for two days to put on a contest starring a headliner who had tested positive against another who was shedding pounds quickly to make a weight, it was a matter of time.
