He didn't mince his words

Come on Clive, get off that fence.

The boxer Tyson Fury was recently added to the BBC’s Sports Personality of the Year shortlist after defeating Wladimir Klitschko to become the world heavyweight champion.

However, some 90,000 people have signed an online petition to remove Fury from the shortlist, following a history of homophobic and sexist views and remarks.

One individual who definitely agrees with the petition is BBC presenter Clive Myrie, who let’s just say say didn’t mince his words when discussing the heavyweight during a newspaper review, live on air.

Take a look at this short clip, because you have to appreciate the journalist’s honesty.

To be fair, the man himself doesn’t seem too keen on the nod either.

It will definitely be interesting to see who wins this come the big night on December 20 in Belfast.
