Well this isn't good at all

"On fight night, about a half hour before we were set to go into the ring, the Whyte camp suddenly told us they were not wearing the gloves that they selected at the glove selection meeting.

"Not the number one pair that they selected and not the number two pair either, but another brand of gloves that weren’t even on the table at the glove selection.

"Of course, we protested and said, ‘what was the point of having the glove selection meeting if you’re going to wear whatever you want?’ At that meeting Dillian’s representative Mark Tibbs had chosen the two sets of gloves and signed them off.

"No one said at the rules meeting, ‘oh by the way, if on the night you want to switch gloves you can.’

"To make matters worse, not only was Dillian allowed to wear these new gloves, but he was already gloved up and we weren’t even allowed to inspect them.

Andy Ruiz should never fight in the UK if he wants to win. theywill rob him blind. if he only wants the money then ok.

it is absolutely crazy how a fighter who has tested positive is allowed to fight by UK laws and the opponent is not even told about it so he can make an informed decision about his health risks....

Andy Ruiz, are you getting all of this? PEDs, Gloves, etc.? Better to vacate than be robbed! Think about it! MSG or bust!
