No police action for Fury after comments on homosexuality

London: World heavyweight champion Tyson Fury will not face police action over comments he made about homosexuality, Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said.


Fury, 27, has attracted controversy after likening homosexuality to paedophilia, with more than 133,000 people signing a petition calling for his removal from the shortlist for a BBC award.


A member of the public had reported Fury to the police on Tuesday for allegedly committing a “hate crime”. “The circumstances in which these comments were made suggest that no criminal offence has taken place and this matter will not be investigated any further,” a GMP spokesman said.
