      Both men were subjected to testing by UK Anti-Doping and the Voluntary Anti-Doping Agency before and after their domestic dust-up.
      And the duo completed their period of testing without any adverse findings.
      Undefeated WBC heavyweight champion Fury cruised to an expected victory over an ageing Chisora in front of a packed crowd at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
      The Gypsy King battered a dogged and determined Chisora from pillar to post before referee Victor Loughlin mercifully called a halt to proceedings.

      Fury was full of praise for Del Boy after the fight, saying: “Derek will have to make his own decisions and he’s been in this game long enough.
      “He’s a veteran and he will make the right decisions, the best for him and his family.
      “But for me, I’d love to see him retire, but still stay in the sport because he’s a a legend of this game in British boxing, he’s like a folk hero.
      “Who wouldn’t want to tune in to Derek’s fights, always entertaining, always gives his all and he’s definitely a good fighting man for sure.”

      Fury is currently on course for a blockbuster undisputed title fight with unified heavyweight champ Oleksandr Usyk in March.
      Usyk twice bamboozled former champ Anthony Joshua, although Fury believes fighting the undefeated Ukranian will be a walk in the park.
      He told iFL TV: “I don’t think [the fight with Usyk] is a tough fight. I don’t think it’s nowhere near as tough as old Del Boy.
      “He will not stand up to those punches that Derek did against me.
      “When I watch the fight between him and Derek, whether people want to admit it or not, it was a 50/50 fight.
      “It might have been 55/45, but it wasn’t a landslide. It wasn’t like he didn’t win a round, like he didn’t against me.

      “There’s not a man born that can beat me and I’ll stand and prove it against anybody.
      “I’ve proved it time and time again, I’m right there on my own.
      “I’ve seen people like Usyk many times before, smaller man that come up a weight to fight the heavyweight champion and 99 per cent of the time they get roughed up.
      “You can never underestimate anybody but from where I am in my life at the moment, I would want to take him out quite quickly.

      Trace amounts of the female fertility drug Clomiphene – which can raise testosterone levels in men – were discovered in Benn’s system on both occasions.
      The WBC are expected to return a verdict on their investigation by the end of the month.
      Benn has protested his innocence ever since the findings became public two months ago.
      And now he has taken to social media to open up about the impact the ordeal has had on his mental health.

      Speaking on Instagram, he said: “I want to start by saying this has been a very difficult time – not just for me, but my family and my team. I couldn’t have got through this without the love and support of those closest to me and my supporters who have stood by me, I am forever grateful.
      “My team and I have worked extremely hard over the past seven years to make me the fighter I am today, we have never cut corners or cheated the grind in any way. We believe in work ethic, determination and pure heart to achieve what we have set out to accomplish.
      “It’s been really hard for me to accept that people think that I would do what I was accused of but what I’ve come to realise is people rush to judgement, without knowing the facts especially people in the boxing community (and, most disappointingly, even those that know me).
      “Although I’ve kept away from social media, I’m well aware of those who have thrown dirt on my name. I’ll forgive but I won’t forget.

      “Tony Sims has had a clean gym for 26 years, I respect the gym. No one is bigger than the gym! Hard work and dedication is what we stand for. We don’t condone cheating or cutting corners.
      “I’m thankful to my dad who has been with me through this whole period and I’m glad this nightmare is coming to an end for the sake of our combined mental health.
      “Never did we think we’d go through something like this but they say the hardest fight is life and the adversity it brings. I want to make up for lost time and not let another moment go to waste.”
      Benn’s promoter Eddie Hearn recently revealed that his 147lb contender will be fighting “earlier than you think”.
      And Benn, who boasts a professional record of 21 wins and no defeats, has now backed that up by insisting his aim is to win a world title next year.
      The lengthy statement continued: “Boxing is my life. I’ve been through hardships in my career before but nothing like this, I believe in life you go through adversity of all kinds but what matters most is how you respond.
      “I’ve stayed in the gym and continued to work extremely hard, staying positive that my innocence will be proven and the truth will come out.
      “My team has proven my innocence and the truth will soon come out. Until then, I won’t be commenting further due to confidentiality.
      “There were times I feared it never would but we all had faith. I’m thankful to everyone who has supported me through this tough time. tough times don’t last, tough people do. We keep it moving and will continue to chase the end goal of being world champion – it’s a minor setback for a major comeback.
      “For now, I am looking forward to sharing Christmas privately with my family and I will be back in January. See you all in 2023, the year I become world champion!.”

      Benn last fought in April, stopping Chris van Heerden in the second round.
      He then took the Eubank fight, only for the failed drug tests to eventually lead to its cancellation. More

      Dele Alli, Riyad Mahrez and Andy Carroll are also among players to have had watches stolen in recent years in raids.

      The Chelsea forward has three children in total, two of whom are with fiancée Paige Milian.

      The Baddest Man on the Planet hung up his gloves in 2005 after retiring against Kevin McBride.
      But he made his comeback in November 2020 where he pitted his wits against fellow boxing legend Roy Jones Jr in an exhibition bout.
      The two fought to a draw in a behind-closed-doors event in what proved to be an uneventful eight-round affair.
      Now former heavyweight champion-turned cannabis entrepreneur has revealed he would love to test out the new drug which ‘delivers DMT by drip to volunteers’ and lasts for an hour.

      Speaking to British expert and author Graham Hancock, Tyson said: “It’s not been widely publicised yet but it’s called DMTX. As you know DMT is a quick journey, it’s 12, 15 minute journey. A rocket ship to the other side of reality.
      “They have found a technology to basically deliver DMT by drip to volunteers. And those volunteers are making extended journeys in the DMT realm.
      “They are coming back with the same observations. I want to do that one, the drip.”
      Hancock added: “It’s like they are mapping another world. It doesn’t wear off, it goes straight into the bloodstream and doesn’t wear off. And it lasts for about an hour.”

      The American fighter then said: “I could be one of those guinea pigs. I would love to be a guinea pig for that.”
      N,N-Dymethyltriptamine (DMT) is one of the world’s most powerful known hallucinogens and is similar to drugs such as LSD and psilocybin.
