He recently had his say while speaking to The Telegraph, and the world has been reacting.
According to him, the BBC will be hearing from his lawyers if they attempt to nominate him again even after his thrilling title defence against Deontay Wilder in October.
Fury added that he doesn’t need the award at all because it means absolutely nothing to him.
His words, “It means nothing to me and I don’t need it or want it.”
“In fact, they will hear from my solicitors if they do put me on the list. Give it to someone who needs it. I don’t.”
“We know who the sports personality of the year is anyway – it’s me,”
“I am the sports personality. Who does what I do, goes through a war in Las Vegas, entertains the fans, and then sings to the audience?”
“They wouldn’t give it to me and give me credit if I won 50 world title belts from the people who put it on, and I don’t care.”
“I should have won it three times already. I’ve got my wife and my kids. That’s all the awards I need. I’ll sue [the BBC] if they put me on.”
