A former opponent of Canelo and world champion has voiced his anger following the news that Canelo Alvarez tested positive for a banned substance ahead of his rematch with Gennady Golovkin on May 5th at the T-Mobile Arena.

Liverpool’s Liam Smith surrendered his WBO super-welterweight title to Canelo back in 2016 following a knockout defeat in Texas.

Smith gave an excellent account of himself at the time in a bout that was action packed for as long as it went.

However now that Smith has heard the news about Canelo failing a drugs test, he wants the loss overturned:

I want my loss overturned, I should still be champion ?

Smith also said:

Canelo failed a drug test ay, fucking new there was a reason I lost to him ?
