British authorities cast doubt on Fury’s return
Print Edition
THE body that runs British boxing cast doubt on Tyson Fury’s announcement that he is close to returning to the ring, saying yesterday the former world heavyweight champion’s license remains suspended and that he has an upcoming anti-doping hearing.
Fury wrote on Twitter on Monday that he was “working on an opponent” and gave a date of May 13 for his return. Robert Smith, general secretary of the British Boxing Board of Control, said he was surprised at Fury’s announcement because the boxer had his license suspended in October over drug use and medical issues. “We are nowhere near attempting whether to consider it being lifted,” Smith said, adding that Fury was still under investigation by UK Anti-Doping. The unbeaten Fury has not fought since beating Wladimir Klitschko in November 2015 to win the WBA, WBO and IBF titles in one of the most stunning heavyweight upsets.
