The World Boxing Association (WBA) deprived Russian Alexander Besputin of the championship belt for violating anti-doping rules, the press service of the WBA. " In January, it was reported that 29-year-old Besputin, after a victorious battle with his compatriot Rajab Butaev, failed the doping test for the WBA regular title. According to media reports, ligandrol was discovered in Besputin's blood, which helps to gain muscle mass and at the same time affects the reduction of body fat. According to WBA, the champion title now remains vacant. The tournament path for him will begin Cuban Jordenis Ugas and American Abel Ramos, who in full-time duel will play the right to fight against Butaev. Besputin is an undefeated boxer: in the professional ring, he won 14 victories in 14 fights, including nine by knockout..
