Heavyweight boxing champ Tyson Fury reported to police over comments about
The IBF sanctioning organization did their job today in dutifully stripping their reluctant heavyweight champion Tyson Fury (25-0, 18 KOs) of his IBF title for him failing to agree to defend the title against #1 IBF mandatory challenger Vyacheslav “Czar” Glazkov.
Following his unexpected defeat of Ukrainian Wladimir Klitschko in Germany last month, Fury became one of the bookies’ favourites to win the SPOTY award, but his subsequent remarks and Twitter posts have led to his 4/1 price drifting to 20/1 with William Hill.
Manchester fighter Fury beat Wladimir Klitschko to claim the world titles.
Tyson Fury is not one to mince words.
The IBF could not immediately be contacted for comment. For his part, Fury has tried to air his side and it remains to be seen if such can somehow mend the issue at hand. But if we can meet in the middle somewhere, on middle ground, then I’d fight anyone of them guys. “They try to say that I hate people and that my god teaches hate”.
I believe a woman’s best place is in the kitchen and on her back. I am Tyson Fury, the heavyweight champion of the world and the baddest man on the planet. Controversial remarks that previously went under the radar are now being seized on and questioned because of the responsibility that comes with being heavyweight champion of the world.
The BBC Sports Personality of the Year award victor will be announced on December 20. “As soon as they start going up and down the floor and scoring points – not too sure how it works – but what I see, I’m not really too interested in”.
Tyson Fury has been branded a “dickhead” by a BBC presenter live on air as more than 100,000 people signed a petition calling for the boxer’s removal from the Sports Personality Of The Year shortlist.
Fury attempted to clarify his comments to Vine, insisting he did not equate homosexuality to paedophilia, but repeating the controversial views he originally made in a pre-fight interview with Mail on Sunday.
“What they’re trying to say is that I’m a gay hater, and I can’t tell the difference between a pedophile and a homosexual”.
Lewis, like others on social media, was confused and offended that these concepts could be linked together. Now the son? My favourite meal is a two for one.
The SNP has written to the BBC asking that he be taken off the list. Olympic goal medal. British champ.
Fury could not commit to facing Glazkov next because Klitschko exercised his contractual right to an immediate rematch, which will take place as soon as April but likely no later than June.
