Tyson Fury's trainer reckons the world heavyweight champion's cocaine use was a result of depression.
Fury became the WBA and WBO champion after impressively defeating Wladimir Klitschko 11 months ago, but a scheduled rematch has twice been postponed and he tested positive for cocaine last month. Specialist medical support is now being given to Tyson Fury, who is the subject of a British Boxing Board of Control hearing on Wednesday where it will discuss withdrawing his licence. Peter Fury, the 28-year-old's trainer and uncle, told BBC Radio 5 Live's Sportsweek: "Personally I don't believe he's had drug issues going back over six months. "If he's done something it's been recent. I don't think he's got a drug addiction at all. "Whatever he's taken will be a result of the depression. The way he's been received since he won the world title, to him, in his mind, he wasn't recognised in anywhere near the way he should have."
