Tyson Fury caused a bit of confusion by not being present at his UK Anti-Doping hearing on Monday.
According to reports, UKAD we’re expecting Fury to be at the meeting even though legally he is not required to present at the meeting.
ESPN has reported that it ‘should be possible’ for the hearing to continue without Fury being present after speaking to a representative from UKAD.
“From my understanding, if the two sets of lawyers from each side are there then evidence can be given,” said a spokesperson to ESPN.

‘Dear All, to be clear Tyson Fury was not required to be at the UKAD hearing yesterday. More news to follow shortly,” tweeted Hennessy Sports.
Fury future in professional boxing will be decided by a tribunal consisting of three people.
The three arbitrators represent the National Anti-Doping Panel (NADP).
The hearing could continue to next year and a verdict will hopefully get done early 2018.
“Hopefully they will do the right thing,” Fury told Sky Sports.
“I want to get back out there.
“I know what the outcome should be.
“End of April, early May.
“I will be ready by that time, fit and strong.
“The training plan is set up, so I will be ready by then.”
If proven guilty Fury could face a ban up to four years. But should he win his case, his current ban will be lifted and Fury will then have to re-apply for his professional boxing license and go in front of the British Boxing Board of Control.
