Tyson Fury should be banned after controversial comments, insists Campaign Against Antisemitism

The 27-year-old world heavyweight champion, who is due to have a rematch against Wladimir Klitschko on July 9, was filmed making homophobic, sexist and anti-Semitic remarks last week.

In a YouTube video, the boxer said: "I think it'll be perfectly normal in the next ten years to have sexual relationships with your animals at home - you know, your pets, your cats and dogs and all that, so that will be legal."

"You are already allowed to marry your animals and stuff.

"It is going to happen, though, isn't it? Whatever you can think of that's bad, will be made legal, because that's what the devil wants."

He added: "Everyone just do what you can, listen to the government, follow everybody like sheep, be brainwashed by all the Zionist, Jewish people who own all the banks, all the papers, all the TV stations. Be brainwashed by them all."

His comments have drawn widespread criticism and CAA spokesman Jonathan Sacerdoti told the Guardian: “There should be no place for antisemitism in sport. He should be barred from boxing and referred to the British Boxing Board of Control.

"This is not his first offence, he specialises in outrageous offensive and racist slurs. Behaviour like this should prompt his sponsors to withdraw their backing. Britain does not tolerate or support racism.

"These specific anti-Semitic slurs are centuries old, and his use of them today in 2016 shows ignorance and malice."

Fury has previously caused controversy when comments on homosexuality, paedophilia and women saw more than 100,000 people sign a petition to try and get him taken off the BBC’s Sports Personality of the Year shortlist last year. However, Fury later apologized at the ceremony.
