Fury snubbed again on Royal Honors List

Once again, despite his many accomplishments, WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury was snubbed on the 2023 New Year Honors List which “recognizes the achievements and service of extraordinary people across the UK.” Fury’s archrival Anthony Joshua and a lengthy list of British boxers have previously made the list, with former contender Henry Cooper even being granted a knighthood, but so far there has been no love for the 34-year-old Gypsy King, who, in addition to being an unbeaten world champion, is a noted advocate for mental health.

Regarding the latest snub, Fury told The Telegraph, “I’d like something that no one else has had, especially a sportsperson. I’m a normal man but a limited edition, so I’d like something different. Maybe King Charles could make me the Emperor of the North of England.”

    • Drug cheat?? Never failed a test in his life but ok. He’s white, so you hate him.

      • He tested positive for nandralone. He then blamed it on eating uncastrated wild boar.

      • Its 2023, get over yourself and stop playing the “He’s white” victim card. Fury gets lots of love and recognition.

    • So funny how this guy calls himself a gypsy, he’s 100% white. Google real gypsies they have dark skin. He only claims minority status for benefits.

      • Gypsies come in all shapes, shades, size and forms. We usually think of the nomadic group that left India centuries ago which still maintain their appearance from inter-marrying. It’s just a name for nomadic groups that live by their own rules, outside of what is considered “normal”.

        This racial woke BS has polluted everyone’s mind.

    • He has no Romani blood, he is king of Travelers, there is a difference. No genetic relation between the two, no matter how much the travelers make the claim.

      • Gypsy is a blanket term for nomadic subcultures that thrive outside of the average society. Yes Romanis are the group people think of when they hear gypsy, but it’s not a unique term.

    • Fury was born and raised in Manchester England, He’s not a gypsy, his family where Irish travellers that settled in Manchester. In the UK they have English Travellers, Irish Travellers and Scottish travellers they live in caravans and move around the country.

  • Maybe they just don’t get his sense of humor. He deserves it though.

  • What a sad omission. Obviously King Charles III is the biggest dosser of them all.

  • Shoot, eating uncastrated wild boar don’t hurt you. We eat it raw around here. Takes too long to cook it, and it’s so good we can’t wait. Never bothered nobody around here.

  • undefeated should give him his just due and an honor in my estimation… I MEAN WHAT THE HELL… SO HE TALKS TRASH SOMETIMES OR EVEN ALL THE TIME BUT HE BACKS IT UP TOO AS DID ALI…. NO HE DESERVES SOME KIND OF AWARD… THERE UIS NO EXPLANATION WHY THE MAN IS BEING SNUBBED…. IF I WAS HIM I’D TELL THEN TO STICK THEIR AWARD WHERE THE SUN DON’T SHINE… HE DON’T NEED IT TO VALIDATE HIMSELF TO ANYBODY… AND THIS IS CHIPPERRRRRRRRRRRRR

  • Aqualung & The Fool On The Hill have more power than Harry & Meg these days, so the only way Tyson Fury can get Royally Made is to approach King Charles.

    It’s up to the new King.

  • He already achieved the ultimate, he doesn’t need approval from anyone!!!

  • The Honours List is meaningless.
    Occasionally, they award them to genuinely worthy recipients, like a nurse who has worked her ass off for 40 years or for an act of courage.
    Mostly, they’re bought by rich folks, awarded to flavour-of-the-month celebs, given to minority figures so as not to upset the Woke brigade or handed out to Captains of Industry who make loads of money by paying their workers minimum wage on zero hours contracts.

    Fury doesn’t need an ODE/MBE/CBE/Whatever and while he may be a bit of a bell-end at times, his performances in the ring warrant respect and recognition.

    … and as for the drug angle, Sir Paul Macca and Sir Mick Jagger have taken plenty over the years and there are few top-level athletes who haven’t taken performance-enhancing substances sometime in their career – it’s all about not getting caught 😉

    Happy New Year everyone!
