Report: Dennis McCann tests positive for a banned substance

Turki Alalshikh, the chairman of the General Entertainment Authority of Saudi Arabia, tweeted, "The Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA) has today informed all relevant parties that [British super bantamweight] Dennis McCann [16-0-1] has returned an adverse finding following an anti-doping test conducted in advance of his upcoming bout. Mr. McCann’s scheduled fight next Saturday will no longer take place, as the relevant parties investigate the matter further. No further comment on this will be made at this time." McCann was scheduled to face Peter McGrail (10-1) next week in Saudi Arabia as part of the Oleksandr Usyk - Tyson Fury II show.
