Wilder KOs Povetkin over fight cancellation

By Reuters in New York | China Daily | Updated: 2017-02-15 07:47

World Boxing Council heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder has won a fight with Russian contender Alexander Povetkin - not in the ring, but in the courthouse.

After less than an hour, a federal jury in Manhattan on Monday ruled in favor of Wilder in a civil trial, finding that Povetkin ingested meldonium after a World Anti-Doping Agency ban of the drug went into effect in January 2016.

A title bout between the two was canceled after the Russian tested positive for a banned substance.
