Anthony Joshua has shared his thoughts on Dillian Whyte’s failed drug test.

Joshua now faces Robert Helenius on Saturday after Dillian Whyte’s ‘adverse analytical findings’ in his VADA drugs test meant the rematch was scrapped.

Joshua has admitted there’s ‘definitely a doping problem’ in the sport.

The Brit said,

“There’s a doping problem in the sport definitely. I don’t really mix inside the boxing industry but I know it’s a problem.

“How can people get away with doping if you are getting random drug tests?

“I get drug tested all year round, every quarter I have to submit my whereabouts, where I am going to be, every day, for an hour of the day, so they can turn up randomly.

“I have submitted that every day since 2011. So I don’t know why I am under this pressure but all these other boxers aren’t.

“It damages the sport. We lost the fight and nearly lost the card because of this situation.

“I don’t wish Dillian any bad but his reputation is tarnished.”
