Even though people are always finding ways to cheat, we always try to be with VADA because we really trust that they are the most respectful organization for monitoring the doping.
I think that every respectful fighter, every athlete, to be fair and square, has to go clean to respect the sport and to respect their opponents and everything.
For this fight, we said there is no fight if there is no VADA testing. “That’s why for our fights we are always demanding VADA. We will never know the reason he died, but who knows what the other guy was taking? No one knows because there is not enough testing. Of course I was pissed because boxing took my friend, Max Dadashev, who died in the ring.
And then, at the end of the day, I had to pay for both sides for the VADA testing to keep going with the fight. That fight also got rescheduled because we were demanding VADA testing for that fight, and they wouldn’t accept it. “You can see it even in the fight, you could see that I was angry. “I was very angry,” Butaev told regarding the Besputin PED ordeal. Russia’s Dadashev, 28, was a married father of a young son. Though thankful for this second chance, Butaev admits that he was furious because Besputin used a performance-enhancer before the biggest fight of Butaev’s life.ĭadashev died from brain injuries suffered during an 11th-round, technical knockout loss to Subriel Matias in July 2019, just four months before Butaev boxed Besputin. The 27-year-old Butaev consequently will receive another shot at that WBA world title Saturday night, when he’ll challenge Jamal James for it in a “Showtime Championship Boxing” main event at Mandalay Bay’s Michelob ULTRA Arena (10 p.m. The result of their 12-round fight eventually was changed to a no-contest 10 months after they fought at Casino de Monte Carlo in Monaco. His countryman beat Butaev by unanimous decision to win the then-vacant WBA world welterweight title in November 2019, but Besputin tested positive for Ligandrol after their fight, was stripped of that WBA belt and was suspended for six months.
