Towards the record bout between Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou, the Voluntary Anti Doping Association (VADA) announced that they have been appointed to oversee the doping test of the two fighters. Recall that Tyson Fury has twice tested positive of cocaine in the past.

The two fighters would have to do all the association requests, for a successful testing.

When Fury was found guilty of doping in the past, he was in danger of losing both his title and license. Reasons he gave for the use of cocaine might have been settled, since he always seems normal. Also, he had no tested positive since 2016.

When Fury tested positive, here is what he said in an interview:

‘Listen, I’ve done a lot of things in my life. I’ve done lots of cocaine. Lots of it. Why shouldn’t I take cocaine? It’s my life, isn’t it? I can do what I want. Yeah, I have done cocaine. Plenty of people have done cocaine as well. What the f— has that got to do with anything?

‘That ain’t a performance-enhancing drug. Am I not allowed to have a life now as well? Do they want to take my personal life off me, too? I’ve not been in a gym for months. I’ve not been training. I’ve been going through depression. I just don’t want to live anymore, if you know what I’m saying. I’ve had total enough of it. They’ve forced me to the breaking edge. Never mind cocaine. I just didn’t care. I don’t want to live anymore. So cocaine is a little minor thing compared to not wanting to live anymore.’

His even said he wished someone would murder him before he committed suicide.

‘I’m going through a lot of personal demons, trying to shake them off. This has got nothing to do with my fighting. What I’m going through right now is my personal life. … They say I’ve got a version of bipolar. I’m a manic depressive. I just hope someone kills me before I kill myself.’

This might be the fight of the century, and even fans of Mixed Martial Arts are at the edges of their seats.
