    If what they do is legal then the BBBofC should **** off. Freedom of speech. We might not agree with it but they have the right to say it just like everyone else. If they say stupid **** then that will just hurt their own career.

    It is not a freedom of speech thing. Fury is licenced to box by the BBB of C, and as such needs to act in a manner that the BBB of C has asked of him, if he wishes to continue to box in this country.

    You do not here it in other sports, and in a sport where accidents have happened, resulting in people's death, it is nice to here the BBB of C are trying to crackdown on such talk.

    That said Fury is hardly the first person to make such comments in this sport, so I would like to think he was given fair warning of any potential sanctions if he used such language.

    I agree with you but just a small point...threatening to kill someone is actually against the law I think, just saying.

    Fury's comments have been taken out of context anyway. It's not like he just said "I'm going to kill you, Del".
