Fury Stripped Of His IBF Title

World heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has been stripped of his IBF title just weeks after claiming the crown.

Fury has been the center of controversy since his win over Wladimir klitschko in Dusseldorf in late November.

Fury had agreed to a rematch with Klitschko per a clause in their contract after also reportedly agreeing to a bout with IBF mandatory challenger Vyacheslav Glazkov.

“I’ts true he’s been stripped of his IBF belt,” IBF championships chairman Lindsey Tucker told the BBC.

“Our challenger was Vyacheslav Glazkov, but instead Fury’s gone and signed a re-match clause with Wladimir Klitschko.”
