Tyson Fury must provide medical evidence to the WBO

TYSON FURY was yesterday given 10 days to clarify his medical status to the WBO or risk being stripped of their heavyweight title.

Fury was forced to withdraw from his already once-postponed rematch with Wladimir Klitschko after it was revealed he had been deemed ‘medically unfit’ to box.

He currently holds the WBA and WBO world titles after relieving Klitschko of them Last November, though has not fought since.

In a letter addressed to Fury, the WBO wrote: “We would appreciate that the physician specifically clarifies the nature and extent of your condition and your prognosis for return to training and your return to competition. If the Championship Committee does not receive the complete requested information, i.e. the Interim Certification, together with the Psychological and/or Mental Evaluation, within the allotted time frame of ten (10) days, the Committee will proceed with the necessary appropriate action without the benefit of an appeal.
