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.
Batman you are right. Ortiz is a cunt for doing this again. Povetkin and now him, Wilder just gets luckier everyday.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Ah the classic high blood pressure tablets defence. If he's banned that's career over.
Hopefully Wilder (kinda feeling sorry for the fucker now) doesnt get a stiff to knock over. Promote Stivern. Get Whyte in with Breazeale. Sorted.

Anyone really surprised? Wilder must be one scary dude to get all these guys trying to cheat.
Well it's hardly surprising that ancient old bastard is on pensioners medicine. Bit harsh...
He's probably been unknowingly gulping down those Desperate Dan supercows too.
3-Time SADDO PREDICTION COMP CHAMPION.
I feel bad for wilder. This fight was really supposed to legitimize him. The povetkin fight was supposed to do the same thing. He just can’t catch a break.
Dillian Whyte tweets Wilder: No excuses now, I’ll take Ortiz’ place!
It hasn’t taken long for the news of Luis Ortiz’ failed drugs test to reach British heavyweight Dillian Whyte – and Whyte sees opportunity in the demise of the Cuban’s November 4 fight with Deontay Wilder.
Whyte, who has wanted and called out for a shot at Wilder and his WBC crown for some time, took to his twitter account a couple of hours ago, basically writing how Wilder must now face him instead of Ortiz.
“No excuses now, I’ll take Ortiz’ place,” wrote Whyte, adding the words, “Eddie Hearn make this fight now.”
If Wilder is still in the mood to fight on November 4 and if no other opportunity to make use of the work he has put in in training camp arises, then why not Wilder vs. Whyte?
It would not be as big as Wilder against Ortiz, far from it, but as a short notice fight replacement, this one would certainly fit the bill.
Wilder has not boxed since back in February (and he had a seven months layoff due to injury before that bout – a KO win over Gerald Washington) and Whyte, who was pencilled in to fight on the October 28 Anthony Joshua-Kubrat Pulev card in Cardiff, does not have an opponent yet.
With five weeks to go until November 4, Whyte, presumably already in decent shape, would have just enough time to whip himself into world championship calibre shape.
Wilder may or may not express interest in facing Whyte, or anyone else, in November; as it would certainly be understandable if he were so disappointed he found it hard to get sufficiently motivated for anyone other than Ortiz (and Wilder was training to face a southpaw after all).
Wilder was oh, so looking forward to fighting Ortiz, beating him and then, as he put it himself at the official press conference (which Ortiz failed to attend, supposedly due to traffic problems) “getting my respect.”
Will Wilder feel a win over Whyte would get him much of anything? Again though, this fight would be better than no fight. Wilder must be given enough time to assess has options. But he has at least one to look at already.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Hard to go from a breakout mega fight to one where you're just treading water as far as performance. Wilder dominated and badly hurt a pedestrian Stiverne last time out. Cannot go backwards one step. He needs to keep it smart and not try to over compensate just assuming things here.
so who is Breazeale fighting now? Was actually looking forward to that
Stiverne Breazeale would have been a decent ding dong. Both pretty static, there to be thumped. Breazeale will fight Dillian Whyte next I reckon. Probably on the AJ undercard.
