David Nyika Rises to the Challenge Following Caparello's Positive Test
David Nyika's Homecoming Fight in Jeopardy
In a shocking turn of events, David Nyika finds himself without a competitor just days before his New Zealand homecoming match. Blake Caparello, initially set to face Nyika, has been sidelined after a positive drug test revealed elevated testosterone levels. Organizers are racing against time to find a suitable replacement for the promising boxer.
Caparello's Controversial Test Results
Blake Caparello has publicly disputed the findings of the Voluntary Anti-Drugs Association (VADA) test that flagged him. Rather than opening a B-sample, he provided alternate results weeks later, leading to contention within the boxing community. Promoters, including Nyika's trainer, have expressed dissatisfaction with Caparello's defense, emphasizing the need for a decisive resolution ahead of the fight.
