Tyson Fury has come one step closer to his dream of returning to the heavyweight throne in professional boxing. The UK has been promised to return its boxing licence if it meets all medical requirements.
“After a hearing today at the BBBC, the suspension of the licence will be lifted as soon as all medical tests have been passed and received,”said a statement by the British Boxing Board of Control (BBBC), which is responsible for the licence of the professional boxer.
Fury had already received good news last December. The British Anti-Doping Agency UKAD had informed that the start of the two-year ban against him on the 13th anniversary of his death had been announced. the date back to December 2015. Thus the return is approaching. Fury had been found to have an elevated nandrolone level in a doping test.
Fury has not stood in the ring since his surprising triumph in Düsseldorf in November 2015 against Vladimir Klitschko, who has since retired. He has returned his WBA, IBF and WBO World Cup belts.
