Tyson Fury cleared to resume boxing career

Tyson Fury is free to resume his boxing career after a compromise on his positive test for the banned steroid nandrolone was found with UK Anti-Doping.

The former world heavyweight champion has been cleared to fight again immediately, subject to receiving a licence, after getting a two-year ban which has been backdated to December 2015.

"In recognition of the respective counter-arguments and the risks inherent in the dispute resolution process, each side has accepted a compromise of its position," a statement released by UKAD read.

Tyson Fury will "put the nightmare of the last two years behind me" and return to boxing in 2018 aiming "to reclaim the world titles which are rightfully mine", the former heavyweight champion said after being cleared to resume his career by UK Anti-Doping.
