Either you have freedom of speech, or you dont in this world... Fact is, he's an athlete. He's not a statesman. He's a celebrity, not a govenor. He's a boxer, not a monarch. So what the hell is the deal?
The "board" can go and shove it up their pompous, self righteous asses. If 'appearances' and the pageantry of dignity, a facade, is what matters to the "board", then yes Tyson Fury isn't your man because he is not a man who will carefully select his words and be something that he's not. He is a blunt, straight forward and honest man.
I may not like some of the things he has said... but then again, I never can tell at times whether he is joking or exaggerating. So I take it with a grain of salt by and large. This is boxing, this is entertainment. What do you expect of him? To be Lennox Lewis? To be Frank Bruno? To me... Bruno and Lewis are almost Uncle Tom's because they acted like rich white guys with snobbish attitudes, or were typical "yes men". Tyson Fury is his own man, own personality, has his own mind and beliefs and the press wants to control him just like the boxing organisations want to try and muscle him (shame on you IBF).
The "board" can investigate all they want, render whatever verdict or opinion they want.... I say eff Great Britain and Team Fury come to America where people aren't so bitchy and pissy and pussified about things.
Especially a heavy weight champion of the world who is British
