'I’ve done lots of cocaine. Lots of it'

Tyson Fury says his cocaine use is minor thing compared to ‘not wanting to live anymore’

SHE'S GONE

TYSON FURY sensationally confessed: I’ve taken loads of cocaine.

And the shamed world heavyweight champion admits he does not care about his drug and booze binges.

Fury, 28, told “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.

“What the f*** has that got to do with anything? That ain’t a performance-enhancing drug.”

Fury is set to be stripped of his WBO and WBA titles after allegedly testing positive for cocaine — just days after he pulled out of his postponed rematch with Wladimir Klitschko.

Trainer and uncle Peter Fury had tweeted: “You don’t win world titles on coke.

“Only determination and dedication. Nothing else.”

But Fury added: “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 any more. I’ve had enough of it. Never mind cocaine. I don’t want to live any more.

“So cocaine is a little minor thing compared to not wanting to live any more.”

Fury’s outburst in Rolling Stone magazine comes 24 hours after announcing his retirement in an X-rated rant — before saying it was a joke.

That followed his withdrawal from the rearranged Klitschko date of October 29 amid claims he was “medically unfit” to fight.

Yesterday Kellie Maloney accused Fury of “degrading” the world heavyweight title with his behaviour since becoming champion.

Kellie, who managed former world heavyweight champ Lennox Lewis, said: “Fury has degraded the championship with his insults to the gay community, with his insults to the trans community, with his insults to human life.

“If you’re the heavyweight champion or champion of anything you’ve got to set certain standards and become a role model.”
