Tyson Fury vacates WBO and WBA heavyweight titles to deal with 'recovery'

Tyson Fury has vacated his WBO and WBA world heavyweight titles to deal with his "medical treatment and recovery".

The Briton, 28, has admitted taking cocaine to deal with depression and could also lose his boxing licence on Thursday.

He has not fought since beating Wladimir Klitschko in November 2015 and has twice withdrawn from rematches.

"I now enter another big challenge in my life which I know, like against Klitschko, I will conquer," Fury said.
