Tyson Fury, Whyte Pass Dope Test Ahead Fight

By Daily Sports Nigeria on April 14, 2022

Tyson Fury and Dillian Whyte have received their latest drug test results ahead of the all-British heavyweight on April 23.

The two meet in the ring next Saturday at Wembley Stadium as Fury defends his heavyweight championship.

The Gypsy King continues his WBC title defence against Whyte – after a stunning victory against Deontay Wilder back in October last year – in what will be his first fight on home soil since August 2018. Since then, his last five fights have all taken place in the United States.

Ahead of the fight, both boxers have passed their latest drug test in the second round of WBC testing that took place on March 21. Fury had previously been handed a two-year ban in 2017 which was backdated after testing positive for nandrolone in 2015 but frequently denied using the substance to cheat and blamed the result on eating an uncastrated wild boar.

Whyte has also previously failed a drugs test – prior to his meeting with Oscar Rivas in 2016 when he was first crowned interim champion. Whyte was stripped of the belt but an investigation by UKAD concluded the Londoner was not guilty of wrongdoing.

Whyte has continued to remain silent after since he refused to show up at the press conference last month and has not given a public interview. However he did post images on his Instagram story recently.

Fury claimed last month that this would be the final fight of his boxing career. He said: “This is the final fight of my career, I’m retiring after this, $150m in the bank, healthy, young, I’m going to buy a massive yacht abroad. I’m retiring, I’m out, this is my final fight, and I’m done. 

“I am very, very confident – I am not a down to earth – I am on top of it. There’s not a 1% chance that I will lose the fight – I know I cannot lose. The latter end of my career, I have to be supremely confident in my ability – which I am.”
