McCann Doping Scandal Hits Fury-Usyk Undercard

The upcoming rematch between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk in Riyadh has been overshadowed by a doping scandal involving Dennis McCann, who was set to fight on the undercard. McCann tested positive for a banned substance, leading to the cancellation of his bout against Peter McGrail. The Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA) reported the adverse finding, and the matter is now under investigation by relevant authorities, including the British Boxing Board of Control and UK Anti-Doping. McCann, the European super-bantamweight champion, faces an uncertain future as he awaits the outcome of the investigation. Meanwhile, the main event remains scheduled, with Fury seeking revenge after his prior defeat to Usyk, who previously became the first undisputed heavyweight champion in the four-belt era. There is currently no decision on whether McGrail will have a replacement opponent for the undercard fight.
