WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder may face another opponent on February 25 after scheduled foe Andrzej Wawrzyk failed two WBC-mandated drug tests. Wilder is scheduled to headline a FOX-televised card at the Legacy Arena in Birmingham, Alabama. VADA reportedly nabbed Wawrzyk for an anabolic steroid. B Samples have yet to be tested. Regardless, a new opponent could be named with 24 hours according to Wilder’s hometown Tuscaloosa News.

A potential substitute forWawrzyk in a main event scheduled to air on FOX is undefeated Gerald Washington. The 34-year-old Washington (18-0-1, 12 KOs) is scheduled to appear on the Wilder-Wawrzyk undercard, but his opponent hasn’t been secured for a fight that would be televised by FS1.
