CONTROVERSY

IF we know anything about the career of Tyson Fury by now it’s that a high point tends to be followed by a low point and that nothing should be taken for granted.

Not long after dethroning Wladimir Klitschko in November 2015, for example, Fury was plagued by injuries, mental health issues and two failed performance-enhancing drug tests, as per UK Anti-Doping (UKAD). It conspired to make his reign short-lived. It kept him out of the ring for two-and-a-half years.

Now, weeks on from beating Deontay Wilder to win the WBC heavyweight title, Fury is again facing the prospect of old wounds being reopened and a cloud being cast over his future.
