Likely to be stripped of titles

Tyson Fury is expected to be stripped of his world heavyweight titles after failing a test for cocaine.

ESPN.com report that the British fighter failed a random VADA-conducted test for cocaine that took place on 22 September.

The very next day, Fury pulled out of his October 29-scheduled rematch with Wladimir Klitschko, claiming that he was ‘medically unfit’ to compete.

And in the moments immediately following the breaking news, the overall reaction was one of embarrassment while we wait to see what action will be taken against the 28-year-old.
