I'm not sure I agree that the boxing fraternity is racist towards travellers. In London over the years, clubs like Dale Youth, All Stars, Repton, Angel, etc. have welcomed travellers, as have others around the country. Many have been really successful - Johnny Frankham, Tony Sibson, Henry Wharton, Billy Joe Saunders... I do agree that the public is racist towards travellers, but I think Fury might be winning them over.
What most people seem to struggle with is why an apparently unconditioned and overweight boxer can be better than a toned, muscle-bound fighter without an ounce of fat. It's as if Frank Bruno never existed...

I've said for ages, Fury is an excellent boxer, and if it wasn't for the fact he is a gypsy (notwithstanding the homophobic stuff etc) , he would get more credit.
The boxing fraternity are racist towards travellers.......Flame away, but it's true.
