LONDON (AP) " Tyson Fury has vacated his WBO and WBA world heavyweight boxing titles to concentrate on his treatment and recovery from drug use and other personal issues. Fury has not fought since beating Klitschko in November 2015 to claim the WBA, WBO and IBF titles. His decision to vacate the WBO and WBA belts could set up a bout between Klitschko and Anthony Joshua to unify the heavyweight titles, with negotiations between the two camps reportedly underway. The World Boxing Organization said in a statement earlier this week that Fury had 10 days to show why his WBO belt "should not be vacated due to inactivity, breach of contract and performance-enhancing drugs and stimulants." The WBO also said it received information from the British board that Fury refused to be drug-tested last month.
