Tyson Fury denies doping claims made by Sunday Mirror

British world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has denied accusations of doping after reports emerged of the boxer being under investigation by UK Anti-Doping.

An article in the Sunday Mirror claimed that unacceptable levels of nandrolone, a prohibited substance, had been detected in a sample last year.

In a statement, Team Fury declared: "We are baffled by today's story in the Sunday Mirror.

"Tyson Fury absolutely denies any allegation of doping. He looks forward to recovering from his injury and defending his titles against Wladimir Klitschko in October."

Undefeated Fury, 27, postponed his rematch with Klitschko this week after injuring an ankle during training.
