Tyson Fury is BACK and wants huge Anthony Joshua showdown after anti-doping decision

Both Fury and his cousin Hughie were accused of providing a sample containing the banned substance nandrolone in February 2015, and both men accepted the charge but denied consuming the substance “knowingly or deliberately”.

Tyson was also accused of failing to provide a sample when visited by testers in September 2016.

The two heavyweight fighters reached a compromise with the UK Anti-Doping (UKAD) panel that will see them handed two-year bans that will end today, meaning both are free to fight on.

“In recognition of the retrospective counter-arguments and the risks inherent in the dispute resolution process, each side has accepted a compromise of its position,” UKAD said in a statement.

And he immediately called out Anthony Joshua, tweeting: “Where you at boy? I’m coming for you punk ent no1 blocking my path now!”

Tyson, who has not fought since beating Wladimir Klitschko more than two years ago, has always maintained his innocence, blaming the result on eating uncastrated wild boar.

The 29-year-old is back in training for his next fight, with a multitude of options available to him, and posted videos from his gym in Morecambe on Monday, sparking fears among fans that he had failed to turn up for the first day of his hearing.

But Hennessy Sports cleared up the claims that he had jeopardised his career by not travelling to London with a tweet earlier today.

“To be clear Tyson Fury was not required to be at the UKAD hearing yesterday,” a tweet from their official account read.

Fury will now have to apply for a licence from the British Boxing Board of Control (BBBofC), who have agreed to accept the decision of the UKAD panel.

Once he is granted permission to fight, Fury has talked up the possibility of fighting any of the heavyweight champions: Joshua, Joseph Parker or Deontay Wilder.

However, a recent feud erupted between himself and Tony Bellew, with both men apparently keen to get in the ring.

“What [Bellew] says is what he says,” Fury told Sky Sports yesterday.

“Let’s hope it is a serious threat.

“I would like to see what he can do, to be honest.

“I know what I can do to him.”
