On December 17, 2016, the World Boxing Council canceled the battle of Povetkin with Bermane Stylen in Yekaterinburg for the title of temporary WBC world champion in heavyweight. A few hours before the fight, the battle was canceled due to the positive doping test of the Russian on Ostarin. After that, Ryabinsky stated that Ostarina was not in two of three samples passed by Povetkin since mid -November.
