Overview
- Queensberry, which said Tuesday VADA reported an adverse finding for Lawrence Okolie, canceled Saturday’s Paris show that was to headline his fight with Tony Yoka.
- Promoter Frank Warren said Okolie is suspended pending a hearing as the case moves to B-sample analysis and formal adjudication.
- Okolie said the result may stem from recent treatment for an elbow issue after a bicep injury and he pledged to cooperate to clear his name.
- Multiple outlets, citing The Times, reported the substance as GHRP‑2, a growth-hormone stimulator, though VADA has not publicly detailed the finding.
- The development freezes the WBC top contender’s path to a title shot and could lead to a ban of up to four years unless he proves no fault.
