Recall Tyson Fury said he is going to hang his gloves after Wladimir Klitschko rematch on July 9?
He had adamantly stated that after his rematch with Wladimir Klitschko he will not be seen in a boxing ring again in Manchester.
Well, it seems it’s not gonna be after all if the wishes of Campaign Against Anti-Semitism (CAA) will become horses.
As things stand now, CAA is pushing for Tyson Fury to be banned from the sport of boxing.
That was after video of the heavyweight champion’s racist and homophobic rant surfaced on the internet.
The group filed a complaint to the British Boxing Board of Control, according to The Guardian.
“There should be no place for anti-Semitism in sport,” said CAA spokesperson Jonathan Sacerdoti.
“He should be barred from boxing and referred to the British Boxing Board of Control.
“This is not his first offense.
“He specializes in outrageous offensive and racist slurs.
“Behavior like this should prompt his sponsors to withdraw their backing.”
During his nearly hour-long tirade, Fury said:
“Everyone just do what you can, listen to the government, follow everybody like sheep.
“Be brainwashed by all the Zionist, Jewish people who own all the banks, all the papers all the TV stations.
“Be brainwashed by them all.”
He also suggested that society’s acceptance of homosexuality and trans-genderism would lead to acceptance of bestiality.
“I think it’ll be perfectly normal in the next 10 years to have sexual relationships with your animals at home.
“You know, your pets, your cats and dogs and all that, so that will be legal.”
In the meantime, Fury is set to face Wladimir Klitschko in a championship rematch on July 9 in Manchester.
Fury is well-known for calculated vibes against his perceived enemies.
Earlier, he had taken to a fight before the fight as he threw verbal jabs at his rival, Klitschko.
Fury boasted of his readiness to beat Klitschko for a second time in the first defence of his WBA Super and WBO world heavyweight titles.
Few days earlier, Fury had alleged that Wladimir Klitschko may have lost his World Heavyweight title clash to the English boxer on purpose.
