Fury said that he was advised not to touch anything in the changing rooms, adding that he went home dehydrated as he was afraid of being drug-tested and failing the drugs test, Sport24 reported.

Fury improved his record to 25 wins with 18 knockouts and handed Klitschko his first defeat in 11 years.
