Tyson Fury hasn’t lost the support of his uncle and trainer.
Peter Fury has jumped to the defence of his nephew, the heavyweight champion of the world, who has had an eventful few days.
Fury had been due to take on Wladimir Klitschko in a re-scheduled rematch on October 29, but pulled out after being declared “medically unfit” to fight by his camp.
Then news broke that the 28-year-old had allegedly failed a drugs test, with reports claiming traces of cocaine were found in a urine sample he provided for a random test.
Fury then showed off his Photoshop skills.

Fury’s behaviour hasn’t endeared him to many boxing fans, but he maintains the support of his uncle and trainer.
Peter Fury defended his nephew in a series of tweets on Sunday evening, before Fury retired, and returned from retirement.
“A statement I can 100% make: you don’t win world titles on coke [cocaine]. Only dedication & determination #nothing else!!” Peter tweeted, before saying if anyone has an issue with Fury, to take their complaints directly to the boxer.
He who casts the 1st stone" let him be without Sin. Devine words for many reasons.

Any dicks on here that's not happy go tell Tyson to his face I suggest. Rather than kiss his ass for autographs then sell em on.
