Boxers getting banned for using prohibited substances is becoming all too common. Earlier in June 2024, the New York State Athletic Commission officials handed famous boxer Ryan Garcia a one-year suspension after he tested positive for the banned substance Ostarine. Now, the UK Anti-Doping officials have banned heavyweight boxer Robert Helenius for two years after he tested positive for clomifene in a UKAD test following his bout with Anthony Joshua.

Earlier in 2024, the International Olympic Committee denied Manny Pacquiao’s request to take part in the upcoming Paris Olympics.
