Another roadblock to Tyson Fury’s comeback

TYSON FURYโ€™S tortuous return to boxing has undergone another twist. His hearing with UK Anti-Doping has been halted, thought to be due to a potential conflict of interest on the UKAD panel. It means this obstacle to Fury being able to return to boxing and get a licence once again still remains. Itโ€™s unclear how the hearing will proceed.

If it continues to drag on, Frank Warren said, โ€œThen it wonโ€™t be heard till October.โ€

โ€œItโ€™s a liberty,โ€ the promoter continued. โ€œThereโ€™s going to be a scream about that, that canโ€™t be right. The manโ€™s got a living to get and this thing [the drug test in question] took place in 2015. Itโ€™s disgraceful. Youโ€™ve either got a case or you havenโ€™t got a case. Iโ€™ve had a test, Iโ€™m positive or Iโ€™m negative. If Iโ€™m positive and Iโ€™m just over – this is the reason why. Why does it drag on, from 2015?โ€

If the allegations against Fury are dismissed then Warren will have a place for him on his July 8 bill in London. โ€œI spoke to him [Monday] morning and heโ€™s training hard. I think they [UKAD] have got a problem. Heโ€™s 28 years of age, boxingโ€™s a young manโ€™s game, heโ€™s entitled to make a living. If heโ€™s done wrong then get it over with. Itโ€™s wrong. How can this be right?โ€ the promoter said. โ€œI think somebodyโ€™s got to intervene, even if itโ€™s the Minister of Sport or something. This on any level canโ€™t be right.โ€

Warren voiced their grievances with the situation. He continued, โ€œVery frustrating. I feel for him. At least weโ€™re running shows every week. This is what he does and having it hanging over your head, if it is then [October], then itโ€™s been two and a half years and thatโ€™s outrageous. He werenโ€™t banned for the Klitschko fight or for any of their title fights. This is bulls***. And all that crap about contaminated meat. That is a load of rubbish. That was a leak from UKAD. Theyโ€™re all very well leaking stuff out all the time, and itโ€™s wrong.

โ€œThey never banned Hughie [Fury], heโ€™s had five fights since. Itโ€™s just stupid. Iโ€™ve never heard of it. You think of any other sport, you get found guilty, the first thing you do, you canโ€™t participate in sport.

โ€œTheyโ€™ve allowed him to participate in sport. So that tells you these levels are not up there. It should all be based on facts and what I canโ€™t get in my head is theyโ€™ve brought this case, why has it dragged on for two years.โ€
