Marsellos Wilder tests positive for banned substance following recent victory in Texas.
The extremely outspoken, once beaten cruiserweight, brother of WBC heavyweight champion Deontay, Marsellos Wilder 3-1 (2 Ko’s) is reported to have failed a drug test, following his March 16th bout with Mark Sanchez 0-2, on the Errol Spence v Mikey Garcia card in Arlington Texas.. The bout which was initially registered as a first round knockout in favour of the 29 year old Wilder, has now been changed to a No Contest. The Texas bout was to have been Marcellos’ return to victory following his January 26th stoppage defeat at the hands of William Deets 6-12, in Brooklyn.. It’s tough to see a way that anyone could take Wilders career seriously now, in 5 appearances at close to 30 years of age, with limited amateur boxing experience, he’s suffered a loss and a positive substance test result, boxing against an opposition level with a total of 7 wins and 25 losses.. There has been no details yet released regarding the substance (Being a PED or recreational) neither are there and known details yet of the suspension Wilder will face.. Heavyweight brother Deontay is due to face number one challenger Dominick Breazeale in a grudge match on May 18th in Brooklyn, a match that has materialised partially due to an altercation Breazeale had with Marcellos Wilder back in February of 2017, following Deontays victory over Gerald Washington in Birmingham Alabama.. It’s probably safe to say at this point, that there really is only one fighter in the Wilder household, with Marsellos’ career grinding to a premature halt before it even got started..
