Heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has spoken with a reporter from Channel 5 news about the IBF's decision to strip him of one of his world titles. During his frequent morning jog the reporter caught up with him on the run but the reporter hard to drop off when he couldn't compete with Fury again.
The 27-year-old will fight Wladimir Klitschko in his next fight instead of mandatory IBF challenger Vyacheslav Glazkov
Fury won the IBF, WBO, IBO and WBA titles when he beat Wladimir Klitschko in Dusseldorf last month.

Boxing: Tyson Fury Stripped Of IBF Title
Free talking heavyweight champion has suffered a knockout outside the ring after the IBF stripped him of their belt. The body claimed that it's mandatory for him to fight Ukraine's Vyacheslav Glazkov instead of agreeing a rematch with Klitschko. The Briton will certainly roar but it will certainly not change anything.
World heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has been stripped of his IBF title less than two weeks after winning it.
The Briton, 27, had to agree to fight the IBF's mandatory challenger Vyacheslav Glazkov but will instead face Wladimir Klitschko in a rematch.

BOXING: IBF Orders Rematch Fight For Mendez vs Barthelemy
As expected, the IBF on Friday ordered a rematch between junior lightweight titleholder Argenis Mendez and mandatory challenger Rances Barthelemy, one day after the result of their controversial fight was overturned.
Mendez made the second defense of his 130-pound world title against Barthelemy on Jan. 3 at the Target Center in Minneapolis and got dropped late in the second round, then knocked out moments later. Although Barthelemy's knockout punches were thrown just after the bell rang to end the round -- an accidental foul -- referee Pete Podgorski counted Mendez out and declared Barthelemy the winner and new titleholder.
