Tyson Fury comments: Hate crime or opinion?

Controversial comments made by world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury have been reported to Greater Manchester Police as a hate crime.

The British boxer has defended his comments linking homosexuality, paedophilia and abortion, on the basis of his religious views.

Ian Sawyer, who reported the comments to police, told Victoria that Fury was entitled to his own views but that 鈥渋f they are offensive, he should keep them private.鈥

Mr Sawyer has also made a complaint to the 麻豆官网首页入口 about a video shown on Tuesday鈥檚 Victoria Derbyshire programme, which he believes was shown without sufficient warning about its contents.

Former boxing champion Tony Bellew said he did not agree with all of Fury鈥檚 comments but that he was 鈥渆ntitled to his own opinions鈥.
