Tyson Fury, the new heavyweight boxing
champion has caused more controversy this week
by saying women are better off in the kitchen and
on their backs. Fury, who defeated Wladmir
Klitschko last week to win the WBA,WBF and IBF
titles last month made comments about
homosexuals so his latest comments on women
will only bring more criticism his way.
Tyson Fury was nominated for BBC's Sports
Person of the year but an online petition that has
gotten over 30,000 signatures to remove his
name from the nominee list will only get more
signatures after his latest comments.
The footage that emerged has a publication dateof November 25. When asked his opinion on
women in boxing, Fury focused on the ring girls
rather than athletes.
'I think they are very nice when they're
walking around that ring holding them
cards,' he said. 'I like them actually, they
give me inspiration, when I'm tired and I
see them wiggling around with their round
two, round eight...I think women in boxing
is very good.'
When pushed further on women actually boxing,
Fury claimed he is 'not a sexist'.
'It's up to everybody what they want to do,'
he said. 'I'm all for it I'm not a sexist. I
believe if a man can to go work all his life
a woman can. Who am I to say "don't do
that cos you're a girl"? But 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.'
Fury immediately laughed off the comment but
when asked about British heptathlete Ennis-Hill
during the hour-long interview, this is what he
said.
'That's the runner isn't it?' he replied. 'I
think she's good, she's won quite a few
medals for Britain, she slaps up good as
well, when she's got a dress on she looks
quite fit.'
