The Briton, 27, had to agree to fight the IBF's mandatory challenger Vyacheslav Glazkov but will instead face Wladimir Klitschko in a rematch.

Fury beat Ukrainian Klitschko on points on 28 November to claim three versions of the heavyweight crown.

Lindsey Tucker, championships chairman at the IBF, told BBC Sport: "It's true he's been stripped of his IBF belt."

He added: "Our challenger was Vyacheslav Glazkov, but instead Fury's gone and signed a rematch clause with Wladimir Klitschko."

Fury, who is unbeaten in 25 professional contests, retains the WBA and WBO versions of the heavyweight title, while the WBC belt is held by American Deontay Wilder.

The 31-year-old Glazkov, also a Ukrainian, has won 21 of his 22 professional fights.

The contract for last month's title fight in Dusseldorf included a clause for a rematch, for which the date and the venue have to be decided, and Klitschko - who had been world champion for 11 years - announced last week he would take up the option.

Fury has been at the centre of controversy following his comments about women and gay people.

The Manchester fighter has been quoted as saying a woman's "best place is on her back" and has criticised homosexuality and abortion.

He subsequently said: "Tyson Fury loves his fellow humans. He doesn't hate anybody."

Meanwhile, Greater Manchester Police are investigating an allegation of hate crime against Fury after a complaint was received following comments the fighter made on the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme.

I'm yet to understand the criteria for taking one belt and leaving two. Perhaps the boxing gurus can shed more light.

Very undetailed report.

No reason why the belt was taken from him

No reason why the other two remains.

No reason why he has to fight the other Ukrainian.

The most important thing is that, that man Killishi or whatever he is called is no more the champ. Thank you the furious Fury.

The Gypsy King will only fight Wladmir Klithscho in a rematch not a nobody. IBF can F*** off with their title. I really don't understand all these fuss around Fury. Is it because he is homophobic? Everybody in Britain are now demanding for his head just for speaking up against homosexuality, abortion and Peadophilia. From launching a petition against his nomination for the BBC SPOTY award to the Greater Manchester Police (GMP) investigating him for hate crime and exposing homosexuals to hate attacks as well as the media laying a siege in his house just because he had an opinion against what he saw as abnormalities. Really, it is now true that freedom of speech is just a ruse
