Turki Alalshikh, head of the General Entertainment Authority of Saudi Arabia, announced that the fight between British boxers Dennis McCann (16-0-1, 8 KOs) and Peter McGrail (10-1, 6 KOs), scheduled to take place on the undercard of the Usyk-Fury rematch, has been canceled.
The reason for the cancellation is that McCann failed a doping test and will no longer participate in the December 21 boxing event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
"The Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA) has today informed all relevant parties that Dennis McCann returned a positive result following a doping test conducted ahead of his scheduled fight.
As a result, McCann’s previously announced fight next Saturday will not take place while relevant parties continue their investigation into this matter. No further comments will be provided at this time," Turki wrote.
