Promoter Wilfried Sauerland stated on Tuesday that “in Germany, we take doping problems very seriously.” Banbasat says Miranda’s camp is still taking every possible precaution going into this bout, commenting "we are traveling to fight in Germany, yet we are being overseen by the Austrian (not German) boxing commission. That would be like fighting in Florida and being overseen by the North Dakota boxing commission. It just doesn’t sound right. I hope that Austria takes their doping issues as seriously as Sauerland says that Germany does!"

What is this all about? Why would a German promoter fighting out of Germany use the Austria Boxing Commission? I have never even heard of boxing in Austria!! Sounds a little fishy to me. Anyone heard of this before?!?!
