Tyson Fury Faces Eight-Year Ban As New UKAD Case Begins

Tyson Fury could face an eight-year ban from boxing, which would essentially bring an end to his career in the sport.

‘The Gypsy King’ and his cousin Hughie Fury received two-year backdated bans for testing positive for the steroid nandrolone in 2015.

At the time, the two heavyweight fighters blamed the results on consuming uncastrated wild boar meat. A lengthy and costly investigation followed, costing United Kingdom Anti-Doping (UKAD) £600,000 – nearly bankrupting the organization.

Since returning to boxing in 2018 Fury has looked better than ever. Last time out, he captured the WBC heavyweight title beating long-reigning champion Deontay Wilder inside seven rounds to do so.

However, his joy has been short-lived amid fresh claims of drug cheating that could seriously jeopardize his future in boxing. According to the Mail on Sunday, Fury stands accused of bribing farmer Martin Carefoot to lie about providing the boxer wild boar meat. The Lancashire man claims he was offered £25,000 to say he was the source of the tainted meat, although claims he was never paid.

“I just went along with it, and they always dangled this carrot that I was going to get paid. When things got quite serious, they offered me a sum of money before it went to court in London and a sum of money after. I went along with them because, I suppose, in my own way, I was just helping them out.”

Since the report was released, UKAD has announced they will be investigating the claims made by the farmer if found guilty both Tyson and Hughie could face a ban as long as eight-years.

While the heavyweight champion has not commented on the latest allegations, his promoter Frank Warren has rubbished the claims of Mr. Carefoot, speaking to media he said.

“The 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.” (Transcribed by Daily Mirror)

Tyson Fury Accused Of Bribing A Farmer To Cover Up Drugs Cheating

Tyson Fury and his team have been accused of bribing a farmer in an attempt to cover up drugs cheating dating back to 2015.

Tyson Fury and his team have been accused of bribing a farmer in an attempt to cover up drugs cheating dating back to 2015.

The claim centers around failed drugs test for both Tyson and his cousin Hughie five years ago. At the time the Fury’s blamed the positive tests on uncastrated wild boar meat or contaminated supplements. Ultimately Tyson Fury accepted a back-dated two-year ban before being allowed to resume his boxing career in 2017.

Despite the matter being done and dusted Lancashire farmer, Martin Carefoot has decided to bring forward fresh allegations whilst Fury is coming off the biggest win of his career over Deontay Wilder.

He claims he was offered £25,000 to lie about supplying the Fury family with wild boar meat, although he was never paid. Mr Carefoot also claims he signed two witness statements confirming he had supplied the team with wild boar meat, which have now been forwarded to UK Anti-Doping (UKAD).

A statement from UKAD to The Mail on Sunday read: “We will always review any potential evidence in relation to any anti-doping offence and take investigatory action where necessary. If anyone has information that could be of interest to UKAD and its investigations on any matter, we urge them to contact us.”

Frank Warren, the promoter of Tyson Fury has scoffed at the new claims against his fighter and said the farmer is just after a payday.

“This man wrote me a letter last October, full of errors, asking for money. I told him to clear off and take it up with UK anti-doping, instead he has clearly sold his story to a newspaper. Tyson has never ever met this man and his story is total bulls***.”

The head of the WBC Mauricio Sulaiman appears to be backing his heavyweight champion amid these new cheating claims, he said. “The person who has claimed he accepted money to lie should be the one on trial, in my personal opinion, especially when he has waited five years to tell his story

“Secondly, around this time Tyson was not involved with the WBC, he did not fight Klitschko for the WBC belt, it was for other titles, so this issue does not impact on him being our heavyweight world champion” (Transcribed by TalkSport)

Tyson Fury Finally Responds To Deontay Wilder’s Costume Excuse

Tyson Fury has finally responded to Deontay Wilder who is blaming a heavy walkout costume for suffering his first professional loss against Fury last month.

‘The Gypsy King’ put on a dominant display when the pair rematched on February 22. Within seven rounds Fury had dropped Wilder twice and forced his corner to throw in the towel.

In the days following the fight the American told media he would be evoking the rematch clause in his contract and triggering a trilogy fight against Fury. Wilder also claimed he was compromised during the fight due to wearing a costume which was too heavy, he said.

“He didn’t hurt me at all, but
the simple fact is my uniform was way too heavy for me. I didn’t have no legs
from the beginning of the fight. In the third round, my legs were just shot all
the way through.

“I was only able to put it on
(for the first time) the night before but I didn’t think it was going to be
that heavy. It weighed 40, 45-some pounds with the helmet and all the
batteries. I wanted my tribute to be great for Black History Month. I wanted it
to be good and I guess I put that before anything.”

Wilder has been mostly ridiculed for the excuse but Fury has remained silent on the issue until now. Speaking on Good Morning Britain he pointed out Wilder’s training methods contradict his excuse but understood the necessity to find any reason no matter how ridiculous for defeat, he said.

“He said he trains in a 45lbs
weighted vest every day. I can understand where he’s coming from because in
every fighter’s mind there’s always got to be a reason why they’ve lost. It can
never be the simple fact of ‘I wasn’t good enough on the night, I lost to the
better guy.’

“It’s
always gotta be ‘the camp was wrong, it was the trainer’s fault, it was my
suit, it was my toe’. It’s always something was a problem. With me if I’m
injured or whatever the problem is, it’s like ‘ok the performance wasn’t great,
I’m going to move on and crack on’.”

Tyson Fury: Anthony Joshua Only Has My Leftovers, Isn’t A Real Champion

Tyson Fury has claimed compatriot and unified heavyweight title holder Anthony Joshua only has his leftovers and can’t be considered a true champion. ‘The Gypsy King’ dethroned Wladimir Klitschko in Dusseldorf five years ago and won he WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO world belts but was quickly stripped as he suffered mental health issues.

Tyson Fury has claimed compatriot and unified
heavyweight title holder Anthony Joshua only has his leftovers and can’t be
considered a true champion.

‘The Gypsy King’ dethroned Wladimir Klitschko in Dusseldorf five years ago and won he WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO world belts but was quickly stripped as he suffered mental health issues. All of those titles Fury once held are now in the possession of Olympic champion Joshua.

Speculation about a fight between the two Englishman has been rife since Fury beat American Deontay Wilder to claim the WBC and Ring Magazine heavyweight titles in February. Speaking about the potential all-British showdown on Good Morning Britain Fury revealed he believes there would be only one legitimate champion heading into the fight, he said.

“I’ve already been the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world when I beat Klitschko, I had all of the belts. So as far as I’m concerned, Anthony Joshua has only got my leftovers because I never lost those belts. I had to vacate them for mental health problems. They’re my belts. How can you claim to be the champion when you haven’t beaten the champion?”

The 6’9ft heavyweight revealed he is approaching the end of his career and once he has beaten Wilder again and faced Joshua his legacy and career will be compete, he said.

“I’ve got two
more fights left and then we’ll really think about what we’re doing and go from
there,’ he said. I’m undefeated in 31
professional fights and this is my 12th year as a professional.”

‘The Gypsy King’ also commented on his upcoming trilogy fight with Wilder who triggered his rematch clause despite being brutally stopped just two weeks ago. Despite having got the best of his future opponent twice previously Fury insists he’ll still be taking a third fight very seriously.

“I beat him the first time and I beat him the second time and I will surely beat him the third time. He’s a very worthy opponent. He’s a very dangerous opponent and he has the eraser knockout. You’re only one mistake away from disaster, you have to be switched on for all 12 rounds.”
