Floyd Mayweather Calling for ‘Random Blood and Urine Tests’ for Fighters Before Aaron Chalmers Exhibition Draws Wild Reactions

Boxing legend Floyd Mayweather has been the face of modern boxing for over two decades. During his prime, he was the best pound-for-pound boxer on the planet and has seen generations come and go in his long and illustrious career. Even now at the age of 46, he still competes in exhibition bouts and is gearing up for his next fight against Geordie Shore star Aaron Chalmers at the O2 arena in London.

Therefore, it can be safely said that ‘Money’ knows a thing or two about cheating involved in the sport. Moreover, with Conor Benn’s recent debacle where his fight against Chris Eubank Jr was called off after he tested positive for the banned substance Clomiphene.
However, in a recent press conference ‘TBE’ revealed how violation of rules can be prevented and make the sport fairer.

According to him, this will make the sport fairer and will help fighters compete fairly and showcase their talents.

“I just always want competitors, fighters that’s in this brutal sport to always be able to in an even playing field. So that’s why I said random blood and urine tests even for myself. To let everyone know that if we’re on the same even playing field in this and it’s even. I’m gonna show you that my skill level is way above your skill” he said.

Mayweather certainly wants the sport to be cleaned up for future fighters to benefit. Moreover, this was not all as his statement struck a chord with the fans who were quick to share their thoughts on this proposal by reacting to the video.

Lastly, one fan boldly claimed that any form of cheating cannot be excused and has no place in the sport. “Cheating is cheating and has no place in sport.” he wrote.

The fans were quick to pinpoint Benn as the scapegoat as he recently became infamous following his failed tests. However, this problem has far deeper roots in the sport which does need some drastic changes in this department. Despite this, not all hope is lost with many doping agencies now gaining more and more leverage in the sport and catching fighters who cheat.
