Barry McGuigan criticises 'appalling' Tyson Fury after online remarks

[Master]

Barry McGuigan has called Tyson Fury "appalling" and told him to "grow up" after receiving online abuse from Britain's world heavyweight champion.

Fury, 27, was filmed making homophobic, sexist and anti-Semitic comments in a video posted on YouTube last week.

He had labelled McGuigan a "traitor" on Twitter in response to criticism from the former featherweight champion.

"Tyson is appalling and comes out with some appalling stuff," McGuigan, now a promoter and commentator, said.

"He was unnecessarily abusive towards me and my past and he can't behave like that - grow up Tyson and catch a grip of yourself."

The WBA, IBF and WBO heavyweight champion also voiced his views on bestiality and paedophilia during last week's 57-minute You Tube broadcast.

McGuigan had described Fury as "like a child [who] has no filter, no off button", in a column for the Daily Mirror.

Fury then labelled McGuigan "a traitor to your home country" in response on Twitter.

The Campaign Against Antisemitism (CAA) has called on Fury to be barred from boxing following his comments.

Fury should just stick to not talking, if he does then it should be about boxing.

Does anybody take him seriously ! come on now every few weeks he says something distasteful or controversial.
He will be a good boy for a few weeks then it starts all over again,! to be honest it's entertainment remember Ali used to do it now Tyson is.
He has people ranting and raving he is more than likely laughing,! I people will want to see him fight some hoping he gets his clock cleaned.

Another hilarious case of people trying to censor anyone who dares criticize. Really ? What a belly aching lame way to carry on. Far worse than the limp and flaccid PC brigade that they take issue with. If you think an English born plank has the right to call an Irish born fighter who tore down divides a traitor, but the chap he slags off has no right of reply, then you are eejits.
