Dennis McCann has been removed from the Tyson Fury v Oleksandr Usyk 2 undercard on 21 December due to an adverse finding in his pre-fight test with the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (Vada).
Londoner McCann was scheduled to face Liverpool’s Peter McGrail in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Super-bantamweight McCann, 23, is undefeated in 17 fights.
“The Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA) has today informed all relevant parties that Dennis McCann has returned an adverse finding following an anti-doping test conducted in advance of his upcoming bout,” Promoter Queensberry wrote on X.
“Mr. McCann’s scheduled fight next Saturday will no longer take place, as the relevant parties investigate the matter further. No further comment on this will be made at this time.”
McCann beat Romania’s Ionut Baluta in July to win the vacant European super-bantamweight title.
Briton Fury and WBC, WBO & WBA champion Usyk top the bill when they clash for the second time this year.
Usyk won their meeting by split-decision in May to become the first undisputed heavyweight champion in the four-belt era, however, only three belts are on the line this time after the Ukrainian vacated the IBF strap in June.
