Dillian White was cleared of doping charges after it was proven that a contaminated food additive was the cause of his positive test. The British boxer was supposed to fight Anthony Joshua in August 2023, but the fight was canceled, according to Sky Sports.

Dillian White avoided doping charges

An investigation revealed that the British boxer had tested positive for contamination with a food additive. Sky Sports claims to have seen a document in which a forensic expert concluded that White (29 wins, 3 losses) was “a victim of a tainted supplement that does not disclose (the contaminant) among its ingredients”.

At age 35, White practices in the United States and is licensed by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation.

Having missed a title fight with Tyson Fury (WBC world champion) in April 2022 due to a shoulder injury, White said he was “angry and disappointed” after spending a lot of time trying to figure out where he went wrong in his diet .

“It was very difficult because I knew I was innocent, but then you can’t talk, you can’t say anything. You have to be professional, trust the process, trust the lawyers and trust the people around you.

It was hard, but hard times make people stronger. I’m relieved more than anything, but of course I’m also upset because it cost me so much. Most importantly, it cost me the chance to beat Joshua” – Dillian White for Sky Sports.

Joshua then had a fight with Finn Robert Helenius, whom he defeated by knockout in the seventh round.

White also said that he is demanding compensation from the company that produced the supplement, writes Agerpres.
