Updated: 7:32am – Tyson Fury’s boxing career could be over after the former world heavyweight champion said he would not reapply for a licence to fight from the British Boxing Board of Control.
His licence was withdrawn “pending further investigation” by the British Boxing Board of Control last October.
He was also charged with a rule violation by UK Anti-Doping after a urine sample from February 2015 showed traces of the banned stimulant nandrolone. He has denied any wrongdoing.
“After thinking long and hard about my return I will not be applying for a BBBOC boxing license. After the way they have handled stuff. No thanks,” the Briton wrote on Twitter.
Fury’s uncle Peter has since said he will also look to withdraw Hughie’s as well… describing the BBBC as bent.
Hughie Fury lost to Joseph Parker in their WBO title fight in Manchester last month.
