Tyson Fury uploads Photoshop image of himself with cocaine from Al Pacino’s movie Scarface
Heavyweight Champion responds to recent allegations that he failed a drugs test
HEAVYWEIGHT champion Tyson Fury has responded to being tested positive for cocaine by photoshopping an image of his face onto Al Pacino's from the movie Scarface.
Fury's boxing career is in tatters after urine samples showed he had taken the drug after pulling out of his rematch with Wladimir Klitschko.
But is hasn't seemed to have affected 28-year-old after tweeting an image of himself from film Scarface's famous clip played by character Tony Montana with a table full of the class A drug.
According to ESPN, Fury tested positive for cocaine on September 22 - a day before he pulled out of the proposed bout on the 23rd.
He was forced to scrap the original July 9 date due to an ankle injury, but was scheduled to put the WBA super and WBO titles on the line at the Manchester Arena on October 29.
Fury has reportedly failed a Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA) conducted test, with cocaine found in a urine sample.
The world champ’s lawyers lodged High Court papers in July to refute charges that he used a performance-enhancing substance eighteen months ago.

UKAD’S rap dates back to urine samples taken in 2015 when traces of banned substance nandrolone were detected, which can aid muscle growth.
But the ban was lifted and the October fight scheduled to go ahead - before Fury pulled out again with his camp declaring him 'medically unfit'.
Fury caused outrage last year, within weeks of landing the world title by defeating Klitschko in Dusseldorf, Germany.
The fighter was named by the BBC as a finalist of the 2015 Sports Personality of the Year when he likened homosexuality to paedophilia.
Last week he was accused of telling drug testers to 'f*** off' when they arrived at his house.
A source said: "Tyson was visited by testers over the last few weeks but just refused.
"He said, ‘F*** off’, and wouldn’t do it. His camp tried to contact UKAD to get him tested but to date that has not taken place.”
