Fury is desperately keen to return to the ring but first must clear his name and get his boxing licence back.
Fury, 29, a former heavyweight champion, and his cousin and fellow heavyweight fighter Hughie, 23, tested positive for the banned steroid nandrolone in February 2015.
Media waited at the hearing location for as long as six hours before leaving in frustration and filing reports of the boxer's absence.
Members of the tribunal were sent home after 3pm but UKAD would not say if the hearing officially started or not.
