Cuban can appeal the Vada ruling but November clash with American WBC champ is now on hold

HEAVYWEIGHT contender Luis Ortiz has failed a drug test.
WBC chief Mauricio Sulaiman confirmed that the Cuban had tested positive for a banned substance by Vada.

Ortiz, nicknamed King Kong, had been scheduled to fight American champ Deontay Wilder in Brooklyn, New York, on November 4.
He was also the No 1 contender for Anthony Joshua’s WBA title.

Ortiz can appeal the ban.

He was previously banned for nine months for testing positive for a banned substance in 2014.
