Told yall he wasn't coming back.

The undisputed heavyweight kingpin does whatever he wants and so he should.

This bloke is a waste of time!

TF is done boxing but he could probably still make a few bucks if he called Vince McMahon.

Did those corrupt officials disconnect his battery terminals? They're obviously responsible for Fury not being able to even turn up, right?

U got me there. No more excuses for Fury. My bad!

You wouldn’t view it that way if he was a fighter you disliked

He obviously wouldn’t, and they (UKAD) didn’t even ban him for it. He was only ban when he/his team went with this “Mental health stuff” and if he was only faking that then we must be the lowest of skums to use mental health as a way to get out of his drug issues.

ukad no-showed as well

Understanding this situation was the point of the hearing. Fury had been allegedly trying to get some form of evidence thrown out and was unsuccessful. If he had a legit reason for he and his brother both having trace amounts of banned substances in their systems, this is his chance to make it known.

When fighters test positive for trace amounts of banned substances, they get suspended. Andre Berto, Alexander Povetkin, Dillian Whyte, and Erik Morales were all suspended for failing drugs tests for trace amounts of various banned substances, yet the Fury brothers had their test swept under the rug, and member of UKAD deemed as having a conflict of interested was removed.

This clearly isn't about the Fury brothers drinking the wrong energy drink.

What we know is that there is a lack of consistency with regard to different testing protocal. But beyond that it is important to get a sense of proportion when we discuss some of these test results, amounts that are being discussed. You yourself say above that the Fury brothers had their results "swept under the rug." Thats a good example no?

once we at least start at that point the politics, the shenanigans, and everything else can be discussed. Because there is a lack of consistency and a lack of understanding about what these substances even do to help a fighter. For example, I don't know how much James Toney abused the illegal substance he was caught using when he was a heavyweight....nobody here does...thats a fact. What I do know is the drug he was using is used to help certain healing processes for the injury he had sustained.

There is a lot more to these showdowns and some of the politics involved. Lets look at the larger picture as well: the British Boxing Board got a bug up their a ss and wanted to ban what became one of the most exciting heavyweight fights in a long time (Chisora Haye) so... the judgement of these boards is not exemplory to start with.

What a waste.

Right now it looks like he's happy to david haye the rest of his career. Hang around talking **** on social media, wait for opportunities to cash in, never do anything to earn a big fight again. Seem's happy with what he did: squeaking a decision over Wlad. He's done with fighting ambition now.
