anyone on here in the media and tell me why they continue to try and knock somoeone who most people wish nothing but well of?
From what people i know who have met him or sparred him say he is a decent guy, hardly a saint, which he will admit himself
so why does the media keep bringing up non stories just to promote the bad side of him?
its not just fury is it, the media seem more interested in negative news than good news |

It's true that the media are often guilty of knocking folk off the pedestals they themselves put there but in this case, well, they're right. It seems he opened his mouth and out poured a racist and homophobic diatribe which got him media attention he probably didn't expect - or maybe he just thinks any media coverage is good? |

"Probably because every time he opens his mouth, another load of shit pours out. Racist, homophobic, sexist.... you name it, he spouts it!"

He says it as he sees it - and fair play to him. The number of people who I have worked with who have said "I`m not a racist or homophobic" - and then get them out for a few beers - and you discover the exact opposite is true!
At least Fury has the spine to speak his own mind - I'll credit him with that |

You mean when he says stuff like -
A womans place is in the kitchen or the bedroom 
The last time my husband jokingly said womans place is in the kitchen I pointed out that is where I keep the sharp knives... nuff said. |

I like Tyson Fury, I have heard far worse coming out of Mike Tysons mouth, "Faggot, White Pu**y " yet that's never mentioned much. Think Fury will only get better as a boxer. |

If i remember Ali said some shocking stuff about Joe Frasier before their fight, but he is put up as some sort of intellectual boxer. I don't agree with anything Fury has said, but boxing is a macho sport and the fighters know controversy sells tickets/pay per view audience.
The reason most footballers don't come out with similar stuff as Fury has is the are PR trained to an inch of their life from an early age, so to get them to say anything that isn't a cliched soundbite would be an achievement in itself.

Sign of the times.
Was a time when a white British boxer being Heavyweight champion and it would have been the most amazing news!
Now it's more about what he says |

didn't read the thread, but, his fight he deserved! klitchsko didn't turn up! I think they pic on him because he is confident in his abilities, rather than say oh no it will be tight and tough. if anything he acts like ali. |

I remember going to see Mike Tyson at Fenton Manor in Stoke, was like a Circus, his entourage exaggerating his every move don't think fury could be as bad as some of the stuff he comes out with, I think Fury is a bit rough round the edges but will improve, think his cousin Hugie will also become a champion one day. |

Say what you like about Fury, simple fact is, he's the world champion! Whether you like his style, persona or whatever. If you think you can do better, step in the ring with him.
Show us how it should be done if you can?
No? Thought so.  |

The media twist anything vaguely non-bland to make it as sensational as possible.
Fury doesn't have the intelligence or media training to exert self control.
The two statements combined have an inevitable outcome, so it shouldn't be a surprise to either "side" of the discussion... |

most people are not questioning his boxing ability, its his repulsive views which most decent people find offensive..

Mike Tyson was just as bad, in fact didn't he get charged with rape?!. but people still like him.
Say what you will, He's a great boxer, what he does or doesn't say shouldn't distract from that. |

Love him or loath him, he is simply a product of his environment.
That does not excuse his behaviour but to a large extent it does explain it.
As for him being world champion, good luck to the guy. |

I wasn't defending or attacking anything he may have said. I was simply making the point that people on this thread have made similar comments about him that they feel he's done to others but, wouldn't stand in the ring like he does to back up what he says.
Outside opinions on a persons life should have no relevance on them as everyone lives their life differently. |

The media have not spun him to me.
Seeing one interview with him was enough for me to know that the next time he comes on, the TV will be going off.
He is a Champion in his sport. He should act like one, not like an East End Villain who has just raided Chris Eubanks wardrobe. |

I am not a fight fan and had a positive reaction hearing a Brit winning a world title. Wasn't that interested in his personal beliefs but like most people the story got interesting with the latest twist. |

Negative news always makes the majority of the news, just watch the news on TV every night, but how can he complain about bad publicity when that's precisely what he gives to the media himself to try & promote a fight

I don't like homophobia or racism.
However I rather like what I have seen of the man (that's not a lot admittedly).
I did like the press interview I saw on TV after he won the world title. It is nice to see someone stand up to the media and nay sayers and tell them if they don't like it they can sod off. He sounded a much nicer guy than the "gang rape" fighter... |

He has made homophobic and sexist comments, hence as a person I think little of him. His skills as a boxer don't come into it. It's like defending someone for being violent and abusive on the grounds he presents a car programme. |

The fact of the matter is regardless of whether his opinion is right or not he is entitled to it,he grew up in the travelling community where homosexuality is probably more taboo than in any other society,his views would have been bred into him from birth so before condemning him for his views people should look at a way of changing hearts and minds. |

if he is silly enough to have said the following....
"I'm not sexist. I believe a woman's best place is in the kitchen and on her back. That's my personal belief. Making me a good cup of tea, that's what I believe."
then quite frankly, he isn't very smart... or PC.... but lets just go with smart!!!
i love to see how people are defending him..... and trying to turn it into a free speech arguement...
well if it is a free speech thing, they people are entitled to the same free speech back and call him an almighty tit!!!! |

Who is saying he isn't entitled to his opinion? No ones saying he should be thrown in jail. People are just giving their opinions in return. If he and his supporters can't take that then he should keep his thoughts to himself.
As to winning in hearts and minds, you dont change bigotry by ignoring it or accepting it. So what if his community is homophobic, its not a free pass. |

He has come across a certain way,and I wondered if he'd been misquoted or quoted out of context,but he was on Radio2 earlier to confirm it all
He thinks he should be SPOTY cos there's no skill in Formula 1 or tennis...!

I am not saying it is a free pass but when a person is brought up in a certain way it is quite difficult for them to see anything else,I myself by the way am no fan of his but I do think that his mindset has been drummed into him practically from birth and it's hard for a person in that mindset to see they are wrong until they are re-educated

I agree totally but if a person wholeheartedly believes in something then society as a whole needs to look at the education of people from these minority groups to bring them in line with normal non radical thinking.Alas some people would be bigots regardless. |

Obviously there are not many ex boxers on here , i boxed for many years only as an amateur and to even turn pro is a monumental achievement , let alone win the heavyweight championship of the world
As for his attitude well the media and promotors have done that to sell him , i have met Anthony Joshua a few times and a more lovely guy you would never meet but the tv are trying to make him a bad boy and its just not working he couldnt b nasty if he tried !! Until he gets in the ring then hes a real bad ass
We should get behind our boys , they are literaly putting their lives on the line for our entertainment (sorry about the rant lol ) |

I'm not totally sure what you are trying to say.
1, he has done well to turn pro, even better to win the belt.
Well this doesn't give him a free pass to be abusive.
2, he's a product of media promotion.
If he's happy to have the media/promoters make him a bigot in order to make money, then I'm not sure that improves his position.
3, We should get behind our boys.
Even if they are bigoted? Does this still work if they are racist, or criminal? I think not.

"Don't worry people.

They said that about Klitschko though!
Considering Joshua is nowhere near Furys level yet I wouldn't hold my breath on a second round ko. |

Tyson was scaring the shit out of the division when he was a bairn and knocking opponents out for fun.Fury has no level the division is really poor,it's his height and awkwardness that gets him through.
Give Joshua ten more fights and I reckon he'd sort Fury out in no time. |

Give David Haye credit, he is nothing more than a pumped up cruiser weight that had to step up a division to earn a payday and claimed a world title. There haven't been any decent British or world heavyweights since Lewis retired. Every established heavyweight on the scene has struggled against Haye or avoided him.
Joshua is the future for the heavyweight division. |

AJ would knock him out NOW
I neither like or dislike Tyson Fury, as people have said, the heavyweight division is poor. But Tyson Fury is at present king of it. He has already stated, he wont give David Haye a shot at the titles, I personally think, Haye would beat him as well |

"Mike Tyson by the way,a real boxer.
Yep showed it against Holyfield..... "
Tyson avoided Lennox Lewis and Mitchell Green, two boxers that he knew had the tools to beat him. |

In his prime he was unstoppable.Before he self destructed!! As a human being on the other hand a bit of a dark character to say the least. |

"Mike Tyson by the way,a real boxer.
He was a street fighter, effective yes but not a boxer"
In terms of a classy boxer like sugar ray Leonard no he wasn't. But he was simply unstoppable in his pomp.Which made him a great fighter. He would destroy anything out there now in his heyday without breaking sweat. |

"Seems a bit of a cock tbh. The comments he made about how he'd hang his sister if she was promiscuous...erm, honour killing, anyone?"
Fuck me and I thought the other bollox he spouted was bad enough!
BBC take that man off ya list, he isn't a good role model for the sport in my opinion |

"If i remember Ali said some shocking stuff about Joe Frasier before their fight, but he is put up as some sort of intellectual boxer. I don't agree with anything Fury has said, but boxing is a macho sport and the fighters know controversy sells tickets/pay per view audience.
And don't forget that Ali addressed KKK meetings as well...but he is the greatest and opens the Olympics
The reason most footballers don't come out with similar stuff as Fury has is the are PR trained to an inch of their life from an early age, so to get them to say anything that isn't a cliched soundbite would be an achievement in itself.

Just a street fighter, at the height of his career possibly the most devastating boxer the world has ever seen! |

I've got a few things to say on this subject.
1. He's been stripped of one of his belts which love him or hate him is a complete farce.
2. A BBC news presenter just called him a dick head on live TV .....
3. Sports personality has nothing to do about personality or being a role model.
4. I actually think he might win it  |

"He says it as he sees it - and fair play to him. The number of people who I have worked with who have said "I`m not a racist or homophobic" - and then get them out for a few beers - and you discover the exact opposite is true!
At least Fury has the spine to speak his own mind - I'll credit him with that"
What do you think the problem is then- the 'beers' or the people you are mixing with?? |

Re point 3. Why's it called sports personality then and not sports person? |

Honestly I don't know. Here's the actual description of the award...
"Awarded to the sportsperson "whose actions have most captured the public's imagination""

"because unfortunately this day and age we must pander to the PC lot and all the treehuggers..... "
I don't understand why when someone gets called out by others for his or her views, those calling them out are classed as 'PC' or as a 'tree hugger'
I far from fit into either category, but I do know right from wrong and appropriate from inappropriate. |

Listening to the interview on Radio 2 he said a few stupid things yes, he also quoted from the bible, the media are out to screw him over knowing he don't think before he talks, his entitled to his view just like anyone else providing he ain't breaking any law, being a Christian I think a lot will dislike him for that reason alone. |

People judged him on the merits of what he said.. And reacted accordingly. It's not a conspiracy.
He happens to be good at throwing punches for a living , so what?
Doesn't endemnify against consequences.
I detest hero worship sycophant culture.
