[Ruthless-RKO]

According to BBC Sports, UK Anti-Doping revealed that it cost around £600,000 [$836,166] - 10% of its annual budget - to pursue its doping case against former IBF, IBO, WBA, WBO heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury (24-0, 18 KOs).

Late last year, Fury reached an settlement with UKAD - where he accepted a backdated two-year ban.

The settlement was no surprised, because UKAD revealed in November 2017 that it feared bankruptcy if a full blown legal war broke out with the boxer.

However, UKAD denied claims that the looming threat of a potential lawsuit against loss of Fury's in-ring earnings played a role in the decision to allow the fighter to resume his career.
