Fury told to avoid making offensive comments (Reuters)

World heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has been reminded of his responsibilities by the British Boxing Board of Control (BBBC) following offensive comments he made last year, the ruling body said on Wednesday. “Tyson Fury has made comments in the media that have caused offence to members of our society,” the BBBC said. In such circumstances, the Stewards of the British Boxing Board of Control have been advised that it cannot interfere with his basic human rights.” The Board made it clear to Fury that as arguably the holder of the most prestigious title in sport, there were “heavy responsibilities” on him to avoid making “controversial, non-boxing comments”.
