Tyson Fury Goes On Bizarre Rant Ahead Of Wladimir Klitschko Fight
Ahead of the biggest fight of his career against Wladimir Klitschko, Tyson Fury has chosen to air his abhorrent views about homosexuality, abortion and pedophilia in a bizarre rant.
By Roy Billington
On November 28th, British born boxer, Tyson Fury, will step into the ring with reigning WBA, WBO, IBO and IBF champion Wladimir Klitschko in the biggest fight of his career thus far. While FuryÂ’s shot at greatness is just around the corner, the 6-foot-9 powerhouse has taken to British media outlet The Mail on Sunday to air his abhorrent views about homosexuality, abortion and pedophilia.
Speaking to The Mail, Fury talked about his belief that pedophilia could be legalized:
Fury went on to elaborate:
"When I say pedophiles could be made legal, it sounds crazy. But if I had said to you about the first two being made legal in the '50s, I would have been looked upon as a crazy man."
From the outside it is easy to see FuryÂ’s views on this subject are clearly ludicrous, the Manchester-born brawler appears to have crumbled under the intense media spotlight and appears to be transitioning from entertaining to idiotic.
While Fury’s remarks were likely uttered to garner attention, it seems unthinkable that the fighter can’t have predicted the negative push-back he has received from fans. Wladimir Klitschko, like so many others in the fight community, has lashed out at Fury calling his comments “sickening” and openly speculating if his future opponent has “a brain the size of a squirrel.”
From a pure fighting standpoint, this fight could well prove to be entertaining. Controversy has always followed Fury. As an amateur, Fury famously fought for Ireland until he was forced to stop because the Holy Trinity Boxing Club in Belfast, the home of the then Irish champion, formally protested against FuryÂ’s eligibility to fight in the Emerald Isle. Following FuryÂ’s departure from the Irish setup, he went on to box for England before turning professional after failing to qualify for the 2008 Olympics.
FuryÂ’s professional career so far has been wildly entertaining. From his debut in 2008, Fury has made a name for himself as a heavy hitter. In his early professional days, Fury began a rivalry with fellow UK fighter John McDermott, the pair fought twice with Fury coming out victorious on both occasions, firstly on points and then in the rematch with a late TKO.
Since David HayeÂ’s retirement, Fury has filled the personality void in British heavyweight boxing and with skills to boot he makes an interesting matchup for the enigmatic Klitschko, who hasnÂ’t been beaten in over a decade. Regardless of his out-of-ring antics, it is almost guaranteed that Fury will put the pressure on the reigning champion on November 28th.
When it comes to prizefighting, few fighters are as dominant as Wladimir Klitschko. Wladimir and his brother Vitali have been the subject of much criticism for their performances, prominent media members have wrongly labelled both brothers as boring fighters, but Wladimir most certainly isnÂ’t. Since bursting on the scene at the 1996 Olympic Games, in Atlanta, Wladimir has evolved consistently.
In the early portion of Wladimir KlitchkoÂ’s fighting career he made a name for himself as a finisher, with none of his first 24 opponents lasting the distance. In his 25th
professional fight, Klitchko suffered his first defeat against Ross Purity in the 11th round of their title fight. The Wladimir who returned from that setback was much improved and even though he would lose twice more in his career, the champ has instilled a new sense of patience to his style.
Over the last few years, there has been some signs of slowing down from Wladimir which makes this fight with Tyson Fury far more interesting. An earlier incarnation of Wladimir Klitchko would undoubtedly annihilate fury, but giving the fact that he is on the tailside of his illustrious career, Tyson Fury has the chance of scoring an upset victory.

Speaking to The Mail, Fury talked about his belief that pedophilia could be legalized:
There are only three things that need to be accomplished before the devil comes home, one of them is homosexuality being legal in countries, one of them is abortion and the other is pedophilia. Who would have thought in the '50s and 6'0s that those first two would be legalized?
