[MasterG]

not familiar with the boxer.

But im sure the lad has regretted his message.

He wont be the first. People and social media

If tyson or Billy joe done this then what happens? Remember billy Joe's videos etc. Boxing is a joke. Hes a 21 year old boy who's been daft,

This mindset doesn’t cut it anymore. Folk need to get it into their heads that what you put against your name on social media you should be comfortable emailing to your employer, etc.

I'm not convinced of this story. Seems like a possible publicity stunt.

[margaret thatcher]

Never heard of him

Tbh, to film a shirtless video of you talking about men getting f@cked in the ass, and then to release it to the public,....maybe James really had a lot of this arse f@cking on his mind

[bigjack]

When will they learn,don't say anything on social media,it's there forever for anyone to see.

[JamieM]

An ignorant 21 year old who has been stupid, come on. He should have had a slap on the wrist and forced to apologise. What is making his career more challenging going to achieve? There are far more people less entitled to rehabilitation than the lad

[margaret thatcher]

Maybe they were thinking of dropping him anyway and this was just an extra straw? Maybe not liking that he was pillow fisted?

Try to look at it from the point of view of the people he was talking sh*te about. If someone started talking sh*te about your family and insulting you and your family personally, put it on social media, and I turned around and said, ah it's ok he's only young, then it would be reasonable for you to conclude that I don't give a toss about how your or your family felt at being insulted on social media

Agreed. Zero sympathy for him

[JamieM]

Listen to what he says. He said he had been targeted by the gay community sending indecent images and videos, people can fake if they want but if that's not your sexual preference then that can be pretty disgusting and hes responded in the wrong way. That doesnt warrant what's come off the back of it. Do you actually believe hes responded that way unprovoked? He seems like a decent kid in general from people who iv spoken too.

If he could actually crack an egg maybe he'd still be signed

I'm just wondering why are they targeting him? if this has actually happened he could report it to the police, but hasn't.
i'm wondering if he hasn't been got at by trolls and reacted which is what they want.

Either way he was very stupid to post up that video, plus if you're going to do an anti gay/trans rant, don't do it semi naked in bed, it doesn't work

It just seems very strange he would randomly do that if you ask me, maybe but I'll take him at his word due to hearing hes quite a decent lad. To be honest I would have preferred if they educated him rather than just sack him off, i find it quite strange knowing what we all know about mtk and their colourful background alongside antics that both tyson and billy joe have taken part in. Tyson is religious and has very similar views to gay marriage. Its 100% wrong and 2 wrong dont make a right but when your a management company you should be treating everyone the same, not just your big fish.

[Ruthless-RKO]

At 21, he should have more of a screwed on head. What did he think he was being funny?

He should've been given a hard final warning..

Who knows, they might allow him back after some steam has blown over..

I see it everywhere now..

People being recorded saying things, whether it's in regards to racism, BLM, trans/homo phobic..

A few days later, their employers are firing them on the spot..
