F ormer world heavyweight champion Britain's Tyson Fury

Britain's Tyson Fury is free to resume his boxing career after accepting a backdated two‑year doping ban.

The former world heavyweight champion was charged in June 2016 for using a banned steroid, but blamed the result on eating uncastrated wild boar.

He will be free to return once he regains his boxing licence.

Fury says he is glad that he can put the nightmare behind him.

His victory over Wladimir Klitschko in 2015 was his last fight before beginning his legal battle with UK Anti‑Doping.
