celebrates with the WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO belts after winning the world
heavyweight title fight against Ukraine's Wladimir Klitschko in Duesseldorf,
western Germany. Fury has vacated his WBO and WBA world titles to concentrate
on his treatment and recovery from drug use and other personal issues. Fury’s
promotors released a statement early Thursday, Oct. 13, 2016, confirming the
decision. It comes in the wake of his second withdrawal from a rematch with
Wladimir Klitschko after being declared "medically unfit" and
following his admitted bingeing on cocaine and alcohol. (AP Photo/Martin

Tyson Fury's downward
spiral since becoming world heavyweight boxing champion escalated Thursday when
the British fighter relinquished his titles and had his license suspended over
drug use and medical issues.
