BOXER Tyson Fury rudely shut down an interview while being quizzed on his allegedly homophobic, sexist and anti-Semitic comments.

When asked by ITV if he would have a fight on his hands to win over people following his string of vile comments Fury dealt the interviewer the first of many "No comment"; responses.
When pressed again on his below the belt anti-Semitic remarks Fury responded: "I'm a boxer I'm not interested in politics or anything else."
The interviewer then switched focus to his two-year doping ban but was met with an aggressive: "Boxing only thank you."
Appearing fed-up with the string of questions the Gypsy King boomed: "Boxing please" before yelling "terminated" over the interviewer and walking off camera.
