Peter Fury: The decision to strip Tyson Fury of his IBF title is absolutely scandalous

Tyson Fury's uncle and trainer Peter wasn't impressed with the decision to strip him of IBF title

TYSON FURY'S uncle and trainer says the decision to strip the British fighter of one of his three titles is "absolutely scandalous".

 

The 27-year-old, whose comments about homosexuality and women have provoked almost as many headlines as his feats inside the ring, was relieved of his IBF belt after agreeing to a contracted rematch with the Ukrainian Wladimir Klitschko instead of fighting the IBF's mandatory challenger.

 

"It's absolutely scandalous. I've not spoken to Tyson yet but we're dealing with it," said his uncle Peter Fury.

"But we've got a rematch that we're tied to. We have to take that fight. A fight of this magnitude, the IBF should only be too happy to be involved in such a megafight."
