Heavyweight World Champion Tyson Fury was pilloried last week for some of his views about homosexuality and women – his nomination for BBC Sports Personality of the Year being called into question. For those who have missed the furore – and you must have been on a holiday to Mars to do so – let me remind you what Fury’s views actually are. Fury believes homosexuality and abortion are wrong and believes a woman is better suited to the kitchen than at work. Views which were non-offensive and pretty commonplace in pre 1960s Britain. Fury’s background must also be taken in consideration if we are to understand his traditional view on life. He comes from a large Irish traveller background, which holds strong traditional values about things such as sex before marriage. Fury is also a born-again Christian, his Twitter feed is littered with references to God and his beliefs. He thanked the Lord publically as soon as he dethroned Wladimir Klitschko of his world title belts in Germany a fortnight ago. Fury is a regular churchgoer and one can conclude that his views about homosexuality, abortion, a woman’s role and sex outside marriage are the norm within many congregations,
