Trading Leather Boxing Podcast Episode 20: Valdez, VADA and the WBC
Last week news dropped that current WBC champion, Oscar Valdez had failed a drug test with WBC Clean Boxing Partner, VADA. Since the news broke the boxing world has had mixed reactions. Some defend Valdez as the rules are confusing, depending on which Association is used for testing. Others claim Valdez is an outright cheat and should be banned from the sport. Both sides surely agree on this, this weekends bout between Valdez and Conceicao should not be going ahead with fighter safety at risk! However, as we know in boxing, common sense doesn't always prevail.
We look back at Matchroom's card which ended with Warrington and Lara being declared a technical draw after Lara suffered a terrible cut above his eye following a clash of heads. Conor Benn failed to stop Granados who went into survival mode and Maxi Hughes pulled of the performance of the night with his hard earned victory against tough Mexican Straffon.
This weekend see's Sunny Edwards defend his crown against Jayson Maya, also on the undercard Callum Johnson looks to keep momentum going.
