Frank Warren dismisses Tyson Fury wild boar allegation

Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder

FRANK WARREN, who promotes WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, has dismissed claims made by a farmer called Martin Carefoot.

In the Mail on Sunday the farmer claims that he had previously lied about supplying Fury with wild boar. In 2015 Fury and UK Anti-Doping reached a settlement after an adverse finding, clearing him to box after he and his cousin Hughie Fury agreed to accept a back-dated ban.

Tyson Fury has subsequently returned to the sport and in February triumphed in heavyweight world title clash with Deontay Wilder in Las Vegas.

Frank Warren said, โ€œThe farmer making these outrageous allegations sent me a letter last October, full of errors and basically telling me he had committed perjury by signing statements under oath and lying. When I called him, he asked for money. I told him to clear off and get in contact with UKAD. He chose not to speak to UKAD but instead speak to a newspaper.โ€

โ€œHow anybody can take this man seriously is beyond belief. Tyson has never met this man in his life. What a load of rubbish. Weโ€™ll leave this with UKAD to look into and donโ€™t expect it to go any further,โ€ the promoter added.

โ€œIt looks like while the football season has been paused, thereโ€™s nothing to write about and silly season has instead commenced.โ€œ
