Boxing chiefs wait for medical records

BRITISH boxing chiefs say they are “nowhere near” granting Tyson Fury a licence to fight and still require medical records to lift his suspension.

The British Boxing Board of Control suspended Fury’s licence in 2016 owing to “anti-doping and medical issues”.

Fury, 29, accepted a backdated two-year anti-doping ban in December and is working towards a return in 2018.

He tweeted on Wednesday that he would be “applying for my licence today” and would be back in the ring in April.

But the BBBofC has not spoken to Fury and insists the process “really can’t move on” without medical records.
