Tyson Fury won’t face police charges over alleged homophobic remarks

World heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury is to be spared a police investigation into claims he committed a hate crime with controversal comments about homosexuality.

Fury has come under increasing scrutiny for comments he has made since he upset long-time world heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko in Germany on November 28.

A petition to have Mr Fury removed from the contest has garnered over 130,000 signatures.

Homophobic British boxer Tyson Fury will not face a criminal charge after saying homosexuality will lead to the “end of days”. I think they (women in boxing) are very nice when they’re walking around that ring holding them cards’. No-one cared. Why is everybody caring now?

Mr Fury became the heavyweight champion after beating Wladimi Klitschko.

England Boxing added: “The addition of Tyson Fury to the list of nominees for BBC Sport Personality of the Year 2015 ought to have been good news for boxing. I don’t believe that for one minute”.

“I’m not a homophobe, I’m not a sexist, I’m not any of those”, he said, per Paul Byrne of the Mirror.

He said Fury was entitled to his opinions, but insisted “if they are offensive, he should keep them private”, and offered the boxer the chance to do an hour’s charity work on Canal Street in Manchester city centre.

“I believe all paedophiles should be executed, publicly”.

“One of them is homosexuality being legal in countries, one of them is abortion and the other is paedophilia”, he said.

“That’s what they like to do”. Touch little boys and little girls.

“They can give them to Fred Flintstone, Joe Bloggs, Superman, Batman – but everyone knows I’m No 1”.

“First I was surprised that the IBF sent us a letter telling us of a 30-day negotiating period and then the next day [Tuesday] they tell us there is no negotiating period and it will go straight to a purse bid”, Mick Hennessy, Fury’s promoter, said according to ESPN. I’ve (had people) being racist towards me for the past 27 years.

“No, I’m still really looking forward to it”, said Ennis-Hill, who returned from giving birth last July to win world heptathlon gold this summer in Beijing.

He has faced criticism over his personal views since winning the titles. “I think it’s disgraceful that people build the guy up to knock him down”, Bellew told the Press Association.

The boxer has simultaneously stood by his comments and denied being homophobic – while also claiming that sex with children was legalised by a fictional “Gay Rights Act 1977”.
