His 1992 Mercedes 190E was picked up by a camera on a smart section of the M6 between Keele and Stoke last July.
Smart motorways , which operate without a hard shoulder, have displays above each lane indicating if it is open.
If it is closed, the screen displays a red ‘X’, with all traffic forced to move across.
He was charged via post but is said to have failed to give details to Staffordshire Police about who was driving.
Mr Fury, of Wilmslow Cheshire , did not appear at North Staffordshire Justice Centre yesterday.
But the prosecution said he had submitted a hand-written plea of not guilty to two offences.
A trial date was set for February 23 next year.
Fury was in his son’s corner when Tyson lost his first world titles fight with Ukraine’s Oleksandr Usyk last May.
