Fury says he has been a victim of prejudice

WBC champion Tyson Fury has spoken of his experiences with racism, saying he has been the victim of prejudice due to his "Gypsy" tag.

Fury is a vocal representative of the UK's Traveller community and his boxing nickname is the "Gypsy King".

Appearing on ITV's Good Morning Britain Show, Fury says that the tag is often held against him.

Fury's interview comes as protests continue in the US and other countries following the killing of African-American George Floyd in Minneapolis by police.

He says he is a white male, but he suffers racism in 2020, as a white person, because he is a traveller and he comes from an ethnic background.

Fury adds even today going into pubs, bars and restaurants there is racism, not just black people who suffer racism.

Fury also alleged that he was refused entry into a bar in 2016, displaying a "no Gypsies allowed" sign on its doors.
