"Following (an) interview with Tyson Fury at the BBBC offices earlier today, the suspension of his boxer's licence will be lifted subject to receipt and clearance of all medical requirements," a statement read. That announcement follows another favourable ruling last month as the troubled boxer tries to return to the ring following a positive test for steroids. In December, UK Anti-Doping (UKAD) cleared Fury to return, after an absence of over two years, following his acceptance of a backdated two-year ban. Both insisted the positive tests were a result of eating wild boar that had not been castrated.
