Anthony Joshua has backed reigning world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury to return to the ring.Joshua is being lined up to face Wladimir Klitschko in a unification contest with Fury facing the prospect of being stripped of his belts after reportedly testing positive for cocaine.Furys public statements have become increasingly erratic in recent days with the 28-year-old announcing his retirement on Twitter on Monday only to reverse his decision hours later.Joshua, who has frequently found himself on the receiving end of Furys expletive-ridden barbs, told the Press Association: I am sure we will see Tyson Fury back in the ring again.Tyson is a fighting man, a real talent and he is good for boxing in his own way. I really hope to see him getting back to what he does best.The British Boxing Board of Control will decide in a meeting on Oct. 12 whether it will withdraw WBO and WBA heavyweight champion Furys licence.In 2010 the BBBofC withdrew the inactive Ricky Hattons boxers licence amid allegations of cocaine use, and, asked about its plans for Fury, general secretary Robert Smith told the Press Association: The board meets next week and well discuss it, Im fairly sure.The meeting wont be for Tyson Fury alone. We have a meeting on Oct. 12. All of Mr Furys recent issues will be discussed at that point, after which well see what were going to do.He is licensed by us. The sanctioning bodies, the WBO, WBA -- they are not governing bodies -- they can strip him, declare the titles vacant, or he can vacate them.We deal with the licence, so in theory, if we were to suspend him they would have no choice but to strip him because he cant defend them, can he?On Sept. 23, Fury withdrew from the Klitschko rematch -- having already postponed it citing an ankle injury -- when a statement explaining he was medically unfit to fight.In a dark interview with Rolling Stone published on Tuesday, Fury appeared to confirm reports he had tested positive for cocaine by discussing using lots of the drug. He also said he was uncertain if he will see the year out.Former light-welterweight and welterweight world champion Hatton, who has battled his own drink and drug demons, has texted his fellow Mancunian offering to help.The 37-year-old told The Sun: I know what Tyson is going through right now because I have been there.I hope he really is getting the help he needs because you cannot do it on your own.Ive texted him and asked him to get in touch with me because I know I can help him but so far Ive not heard back.For me thats a worrying sign because I class him as a mate of mine. I just hope he is safe.Former world featherweight champion Barry McGuigan, meanwhile, reckons sports governing bodies should combine resources to help athletes with mental health issues.Speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live on Wednesday evening, he said: Maybe its time for all the sporting governing bodies to sit down and start seriously thinking about a clinic of some kind that needs to be available, and we could do it at a very cheap rate for guys who dont always earn a fortune, but still need that help.I would be happy to help in whatever way I can. It really worries me about the future of the sport and how we make it safer without changing it too dramatically. Patrick Corbin Jersey .

NEW YORK -- Angelique Kerber earned the No. 1 ranking before she stepped on court, then she went out there and looked like a top-ranked player.Kerber is into her third major final of the year after dispatching Caroline Wozniacki in straight sets at the U.S. Open. She won the first four games en route to a 6-4, 6-3 victory that set up a rematch with Karolina Pliskova, who denied the German lefty the No. 1 ranking a few weeks ago then handed it to her Thursday night.Its a great day, Kerber said.At the start of 2016, she had never made a Grand Slam final. Kerber could end it as a two-time major champ.In January, she not only advanced to the Australian Open title match but beat Serena Williams there. Kerber also reached the Wimbledon final, where she lost to Williams.Kerber would have overtaken Williams for the No. 1 ranking had she defeated Pliskova at Cincinnati on Aug. 21. Instead, Pliskova won that day for a breakthrough title and has been riding the momentum ever since.Pliskova upset a hobbled Williams in the first semifinal Thursday, which clinched No. 1 for Kerber -- who insisted she thought little about ascending to the top of the rankings as she prepared to take the court.To be No. 1 in the world -- that sounds amazing, Kerber said once she won and could finally contemplate the achievement.On match point, Kerber hit a backhand that appeared to be heading long,, and Wozniacki was going to let it go until she realized it might have clipped the baseline.dddddddddddd She swung too late and sent the ball sailing out to end the match instead of challenging the call.I got a few texts, but that just made me feel worse, Wozniacki said later.But clearly should have challenged it, she added. But at the end of the day, I dont think it would have made a difference.Not the way Kerber was relentlessly hammering her shots. Wozniacki even mixed in quite a few moon balls, but to no avail. Usually content to play defense, Wozniacki found herself trying to force the issue and made an uncharacteristic 26 unforced errors.A two-time runner-up at Flushing Meadows, she arrived at this years tournament at No. 74 in the world after missing 2 1/2 months because of an ankle injury. She was seeking to become the lowest-ranked womens finalist at the U.S. Open, other than an unranked Kim Clijsters in 2009.Probably people ruled me out, but its nice to prove people wrong once again, Wozniacki said.How much longer might she keep trying to prove people wrong? Just as she had after her quarterfinal victory, Wozniacki declined to address a question about reports that her father told media she could retire in the next year or two. ' ' '
