The heavyweight rematch between Anthony Joshua and Dillian Whyte was cancelled by the promoter Saturday after Whyte’s random pre-fight drug test found “adverse analytical findings” in his sample.

The British boxers were scheduled to fight on Aug. 12 in London, almost eight years after their first bout in on Dec. 12, 2015. Joshua beat Whyte by TKO in the seventh round.
