This past Monday, the WBO gave Tyson Fury (25-0, 18KOs) 10 days to clarify his medical status or face being stripped of his world heavyweight titles.

Fury was scheduled to defend his WBA, IBO and WBO belts against Wladimir Klitschko in a rematch on October 29, but the fight was called off for a second time after his management team declared he was "medically unfit to fight".

The undefeated 28-year-old, who withdrew from the original July 9 date due to an ankle injury. Fury captured his belts last November with a shocking twelve round unanimous decision win over Klitschko - the first defeat for the former champion in over ten years.

Fury's latest withdrawal was attributed to the fighter battling a serious case of depression, according to his uncle and trainer Peter Fury.

But a new scandal broke on Friday, when ESPN revealed that Fury tested positive for cocaine. The boxer tested positive for the recreational drug on September 22, when he was issued a random drug test by VADA [Voluntary Anti Doping Association].

WBO President Paco Varcarcal is getting frustrated with the entire situation and they have now reached out to the British Boxing Board of Control. If The BBBoC confirm Fury's positive reading for cocaine, the sanctioning body plans to issue a letter to Fury - requiring the fighter to explain why the WBO shouldn't strip him.

"We contacted the British Boxing Board of Control and as soon as they have the information [from VADA], they will notify the WBO," Valcarcel said to ESPN Deportes. "As soon as the BBBofC notify us and the result turns out to be true (that Fury is positive for cocaine), the Championships Committee will send a letter to Fury to show cause on why we should not strip him of the title. Everything related to our champions, their status and obligations, will be discussed on October 20 during the WBO convention in Puerto Rico."
