Tyson Fury has been known as a showman but there are limitations.

Seeing how he did it against Wladimir Klitschko, there is a possibility that the British boxing champ could go overboard and such was proven recently when he made remarks concerning homosexuality and abortion via the Daily Mail.

Furthermore, the boxer is also seen in a video making sexist remarks, with Jessica Ennis-Hill being one of the popular women athletes singled out by the boxer. 

As far as Ennis-Hill is concerned, Fury was quoted saying, according to the news outlet, "That's the runner, isn't it? I think she's good, she's won quite a few medals for Britain, she slaps up good as well, when she's got a dress on she looks quite fit.

That rant drew the ire of more than 45,000 people who signed a petition to remove Fury from being included in the shortlist of candidates for BBC's Sport Personality of the Year award (SPOTY).

Fury has been known to go to the extremes, something he had done leading before that clash with Klitschko. But when the smoke cleared, Fury did say that all those tirades were simple part of fun and games and that he does hold high regards for the 39-year-old champion.

But now it remains to be seen if he can get off the hook that easily following those sexist remarks, which is a sensitive issue that many take exception to.

As far as the SPOTY award is concerned, BBC explains that it is something given for an individual's achievement and not something that covers his/her individual personal beliefs.

Whether the BBC will stand pat on the heat surrounding Fury's sexist remarks or not is something to watch out for. For his part, Fury has tried to air his side and it remains to be seen if such can somehow mend the issue at hand.
