Britain¡¯s world heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury has been drinking and using cocaine to help him deal with depression, he told Rolling Stone magazine in an interview released on Tuesday.

¡°I¡¯ve been out drinking, Monday to Friday to Sunday, and taking cocaine. I can¡¯t deal with it (depression) and the only thing that helps me is when I get drunk out of me mind,¡± he said.

¡°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 . . . That ain¡¯t a performance enhancing drug.
