Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer had this to say:
"Obviously it's unfortunate, but at least it will allow us to save the event. Victor will be fighting, and all the other fights on the card will happen.
"We will be announcing within the next two days the replacement (for Berto)."
Here is a portion of Berto's statement. Kind of interesting is the fact that Berto volunteered to be part of the VADA program.
"At the present time, I cannot explain the positive drug test, which was provided as part of a voluntary anti-doping program in which I agreed to participate.
"I know that I have never used any steroids or other banned substances, and I am investigating all possible causes of the positive test with my attorney Howard Jacobs.
"I have never cheated, and all of my success has come from hard work and dedication."
