World Heavyweight champion Tyson Fury reportedly failed a drugs test for cocaine use on September 22nd according to ESPN.com's chief boxing writer Dan Rafael.
Undefeated Fury was due to fight Wladimir Klitschko on October 29th in a rematch for the two belts that the Brit won off his opponent last November. However Fury had to pull out of the fight for a second time due to being 'medically unfit.'
According to the report ESPN have been told by several sources that the heavyweight champion failed a VADA regulated random urine test taken out on September 22nd.
