British heavyweight boxer Tyson Fury, who is due to fight David Haye in Manchester on 8 February, has aimed abuse at his opponent and called Britain's former world champion Lennox Lewis and world heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko homosexuals.

According to the Guardian, Fury may face censure from the British Boxing Board of Control.

A year ago the British heavyweight issued an apology for comments made on his Twitter account about the fighter David Price, the report said.

Fury then laid the blame for the outburst on his cousins, claiming they had tapped into his account, the report added.
