From Fury's twitter:
"Hi every1 I have officially retired from boxing. There's to many bent people in the sport. They will have to **** some1 else. Good by boxin"
Probably just had a bad day. I hope he's not serious.
And other minorities refer to themselves by derogatory names, doesn't mean people outside their race/ethnicity are free to.
I have a lot of traveller friends and if you were to refer to one as a 'pikey', you would find out wether it is insulting or not.
Plenty of pikeys round my way mate and non have ever said anything about it being a derogatory term or been offended when ive used it Maybe its different in different places
That time of the month?
Everyone knows boxing is full of disreputable characters.. I doubt this is a new revelation to Fury..
lol yeah fury has a rant on twitter every 28/29 days or so
You brought up the whole issue of race and ethnicity, even though it doesn't apply here. And who cares if they're insulted by it? These people are deserving of nothing but contempt.
Except for the fact that they're not actually a race. And pikey is a more suitable and appropriate term than 'Irish traveller', as many of these people have no real link to Ireland besides the fact that they're grandparent(s) were born/raised there.
I didn't say ' Irish traveller ' I just said traveller. That is the politically correct way to refer to Tyson fury and his family. 'Pikey' is a derogatory name for a group of people. Do you have to be a race to be insulted by a name?
where else is a pikey goign to make several million pounds for a big fight?
fury isnt' going anywhere.
neither is david haye.
those two will probably fight in 2014 or 2015.
end of next year mos def

Pikeys call themselves Pikeys and are damn proud of it too.
Fury isnt retiring he's always putting random sh*te on twitter. Remember the 80% purse demand for the Haye fight? guy just types whatever crapola comes into his head

All this talk of racism in other threads, calling a traveller 'PIKEY' is as bad as calling any other minority an ignorant insult.

Tyson will fight & win world titles but this time with real Fights!! That's what he means.— peter fury. (@peterfury) November 20, 2013
How is that what he means :lol1:
Fury is the most underrated HW of all time. I truly marvel at his ability to comeback from adversity like he did against that cunning pig. A true star was born that day. I hope he gives us a few more years of artistry before tackling another great adventure, like world hunger or some such thing his brave heart will inevitably pursue :luvbed:

You should have heard him going off on Europeans yesterday.
