3. Tyson Fury has vacated his WBO and WBA world heavyweight titles effective immediately to “fully focus on his medical treatment and recovery.”

The boxer found himself at the centre of a controversy a fortnight ago after admitting to having “done lots of cocaine” in an interview with Rolling Stone magazine. Fury faced the prospect of having his licence removed – which would have led to being stripped of his belts – by the British Boxing Board of Control on Wednesday (12 October), but he managed to beat them to the punch by making his move first.

The 28-year-old recently pulled out of his bout against Wladimir Klitschko for a second time after being declared “medically unfit” last month. Fury has not fought since beating the Ukrainian in November 2015.

Explaining his decision, Fury said in a statement: “I feel that it is only fair and right and for the good of boxing to keep the titles active and allow the other contenders to fight for the vacant belts that I proudly won and held as the undefeated heavyweight champion of the world when I defeated the long-standing champion Wladimir Klitschko.”
