Tyson Fury called to face British Boxing Board of Control (The Associated Press)

Tyson Fury has been summoned by the British Boxing Board of Control in the new year following controversial comments by the new world heavyweight champion. Fury’s remarks about homosexuals and abortion, some of which are being investigated by British police, were published in a newspaper interview before his victory over Wladimir Klitschko in a heavyweight title fight on Nov. 28, and repeated on radio this week. The BBBC met to discuss the matter on Wednesday, and general secretary Robert Smith says Fury has been called to attend an interview in the new year.
