“Suspicious doping test before fight with Smith? This, of course, is unpleasant when you know that you are not taking anything forbidden. You've been taking these tests your entire amateur career, nothing ever happened. Maybe some error has occurred. I didn’t even understand what that meant. I think that if they had any reason, they would not have let me box,” said the boxer.
Let us remember that Beterbiev finished Smith in the 7th round.
