Tyson Fury's a working class Christian man and we should celebrate him

For years, the church has been putting its foot in it over what the Bible says about women and gay sex. Why should we expect Tyson Fury to be any different? Give the guy a break, says Heather Tomlinson

Fury has been the target of furious rage from the politically correct establishment, after making some eyebrow-raising comments about women, homosexuality and his Christian faith. Some say his nomination for BBC Sports Personality of the Year should be revoked, despite the fact he’s made British boxing history.

With all this pressure, and a camera thrust in his face, he still had the guts to tell BBC viewers: 'Jesus loves me, and he loves you too… and he loves everybody in the world. All’s you’ve got to do is repent of your sins, and you’ll be forgiven.'
