Shocking news concerning Deontay Wilders February 25th return to the ring to defend his WBC heavyweight title, scheduled opponent Andrzej Wawrzyk 33-1 (19 Ko's) has failed two mandated drug tests, Vada caught Wawrzyk for an unknown anabolic steroid only days ago, B samples are yet to be put under the microscope, but as of now, the Polish fighter has been scrapped as challenger in this event..
Wilder 37-0 (36 Ko's) has suffered this predicament in a previous bout with Alexander Povetkin in 2016, where he was forced to face a replacement in Chris Arreola... The show which will be televised by Fox Sports, from Birminghams Legacy arena in Alabama will go ahead as scheduled, will Deontay boxing an opponent to be announced.. WBC number 17 ranked Dominick Breazeale 17-1 (15 Ko's) appears on the show against tough New Zealand based Pole Izu Ugonoh 17-0 (14 Ko's) it's not impossible that either guy could fill in to face Wilder, but I'm hearing that the most probable replacement is Californian Gerald Washington 18-0-1 (12 Ko's) who's only blemish was a 10 round draw with rugged Amir Mansour in 2015.. The opponent will be announced within 24 hours.
