Tyson Fury (25-0-0, 18KOs) has been cleared to fight again following acceptance of a backdated two-year doping ban.
The “Gypsy King” was found guilty of using a banned steroid in June 2016; blaming the result on eating a uncastrated wild boar.
Fury beat Wladimir Klitschko (64-5-0, 53KOs) in November 2015, his last fight before a legal battle with UK Anti-Doping (UKAD)
According to BBC Sport: “The British Boxing Board of Control (BBBCoC) which manages the licensing of boxers in the UK, has agreed to the outcome according to Ukad.”
But the 29-year-old will have to apply to the BBBCoC if he is to regain his licence.
Heavyweight boxing just got a whole load more interesting: @Tyson_Fury free to fight again after UKAD backdates two year ban. @hughiefury also cleared.
