• Former world heavyweight champion thanks fans for support • Fury still yet to hear about resumption of Ukad hearingTyson Fury has appeared to announce his retirement once more as he waits to receive a date for the resumption of his UK Anti-Doping hearing. The former world heavyweight champion, 28, had been targeting a comeback fight next July, having vacated the WBA and WBO titles he held last October after admitting using cocaine to cope with depression, after which the British Boxing Board of Control (BBBC) suspended his boxing licence. “Been very blessed in my life & career achieve the upmost [sic] in boxing, was a epic journey along the way,” Fury wrote. THE END.”The Ukad panel was due to rule on allegations Fury and his cousin and fellow heavyweight Hughie Fury tested positively for nandrolone in 2015. He announced last October that he had quit the sport, which he described as “the saddest thing I ever took part in”.
