The WBC on Monday morning ruled Willie Monroe Jr. out of challenging Jermall Charlo for its interim middleweight title on Saturday night in the main event of the Premier Boxing on Fox card because he tested positive for elevated levels of testosterone beyond the allowable limit in a WBC Clean Boxing Program test administered by the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association. “The WBC will afford Mr. Monroe the due process to which he is entitled under the WBC CBP’s protocol. While the WBC follows its protocol’s procedures, Mr. Monroe’s situation cannot not be fully and justly adjudicated on a timely fashion for him to fight for the WBC title,” the sanctioning body said in a statement. “The WBC CBP’s ultimate goal is to protect the health, safety and welfare of boxers. Accordingly, the WBC must fully investigate the specific facts surrounding Mr. Monroe’s reported adverse finding before fully adjudicating the matter.”
