Tyson Fury: Boxing has big drugs problem

Tyson Fury believes boxing has a big drugs problem and says sport should address the issue of substance misuse by legalising them.

Fury, who challenges champion Wladimir Klitschko for the WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight world titles in Dusseldorf on Saturday, has already provoked controversy in the build-up to the fight with his bizarre behaviour at press conferences and expressing unorthodox opinions on a wide range of subjects during interviews.

And now Fury has responded to former world featherweight champion Barry McGuigan’s assertion that anyone caught taking drugs should be banned from boxing for life.
