Brit boxer Tyson Fury says homosexuality and paedophilia will bring about the end of days

British heavyweight boxer Tyson Fury predicted the end of the world in an exclusive and rather bizarre interview with The Mail on Sunday – then dropped some vile comments equating homosexuality with paedophilia.

“We live in an evil world,” the 27-year-old said. ‘The devil is very strong at the minute, very strong, and I believe the end is near. The Bible tells me the end is near. The world tells me the end is near. Just a short few years, I reckon, away from being finished.”

He added: “There are only three things that need to be accomplished before the devil comes home. One of them is homosexuality being legal in countries, one of them is abortion and the other is paedophilia. Who would have thought in the 50s and 60s that those first two would be legalised?

“When I say paedophiles could be made legal, it sounds crazy. But if I had said to you about the first two being made legal in the 50s, I would have been looked upon as a crazy man.”

When interviewer Oliver Holt suggested that people might not agree with his views, Fury said, “People can say, ‘You are against abortions, you are against paedophilia, you are against homosexuality’, but my faith and my culture is based on the Bible.”

Later this month, the boxing star will fight Ukraine’s Wladimir Klitschko, whom he previously called a “devil-worshipper”. Back in 2013, Fury was fined £3,000 by the British Boxing Board of Control after he said Liverpool fighters David Price and Tony Bellew were “gay lovers”.
