TYSON Fury's trainer and uncle Peter has vowed his nephew will return to the ring, despite him vacating his WBA and WBO heavyweight titles.

The 28-year-old is presently receiving treatment for a condition Peter Fury described as "manic depression" and today, Thursday, the British Boxing Board of Control (BBBC) suspended his boxer's licence pending further investigation into "anti-doping and medical issues".

Fury, who attended Styal Primary School, is presently the subject of a UK Anti-Doping investigation into his alleged use of the banned substance nandrolone - which he has always denied - and recently confirmed he had taken "lots of" cocaine.

He has numerous hurdles to overcome before any potential return to action, but Peter - who inspired a significant improvement in Tyson once becoming his trainer - insists it is an inevitability.

"Absolutely you will see him in the ring again," the 48-year-old told BBC Radio 5 Live.

"I was with him yesterday, me and his dad (John), and just listening to him speak and the way he is.

"Boxing is in his life. It's in his blood. It's in his veins. He doesn't know anything else. He's just frustrated. When you lose interest in everything and you can't see the meaning of anything - clearly you've got a problem.

"He's addressing it now and we spoke for three and a half, four hours yesterday. The treatment he's had already is doing him a lot of good.

"He hasn't got a drug addiction. He just did a stupid thing. He's not going into any clinics for drug abuse; he's got manic depression, which is a version of bipolar (disorder).

"They did have a name for it but I can't think of it. They said over a period of the next few months he should start to respond, and (make) progress."

Sanctioning bodies the WBA and WBO are expected to make imminent decisions regarding the world titles Fury has vacated and which Anthony Joshua and David Haye hope to fight for.

The BBBC will also have to take more permanent action regarding his licence, and Peter Fury said: "The Board needs to understand that he's got a severe depression problem. He's got all of his reports to go with it. He's attending the necessary clinics.

"Once Tyson Fury produces all of his records of what he's been through, the Boxing Board I don't think will have any option but to give him his licence back because this is a guy that's needing medical treatment.

"Once the powers that be say he's fit to box and he's ok there's no reason why he can't be reinstated.

"He is the linear heavyweight champion of the world. He's done what nobody else could do. He's in the pinnacle of his career. He's only 28 years of age. He's got a massive future.

"He is controversial. He lights up boxing, whether it be good or bad. I think it's a case of he is the world champion, the true world champion. I think when he does come back he'll be welcomed with open arms. Especially the way he's voluntarily relinquished his belts."
