Heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury, has been left out of this years Queens honours list.
The controversial boxer whose comments against homosexuals and women caused a storm after being included in the sports personality of the year award, was this time left out of the annual list for recognizing and commending positive and useful individuals in our society.
Anthony Joshua was given an MBE in 2012 following his Olympic gold medal, as was Audley Harrison in 2000 for winning gold in Sydney, and Lennox Lewis in 2000 for winning the world championship belt the year before. Quite clearly, the organizers of the award want to avoid the sort of protests that almost completely overshadowed the BBC sports personality awards, and have conveniently, and quite rightly left out Fury.
Fury’s victory over Klitschko was quite significant in boxing terms, for he dethroned a champion riding under the waves of an 11 year reign. However, what makes the decision to leave Fury out very rational, is the simple fact that he seems to open his mouth before he thinks. He does not care how he is perceived, and such an individual is not worthy of being honoured by the Queen. He is on record saying things like ”I am messed up”, ”I am not a serious person” , ” a woman’s place is in the kitchen”, and the careless talk about the devil coming down once Paedophilia is legalized to complete the trio of Homosexuality and abortion being legal.

Fury, like all of us, is entitled to his views on any given matter. The problem that arises when he expresses his views is the fact he seems to lack the intelligence to see that those same words will come back and bite him in the bum. Or maybe he doesn’t care, which is even worse. 13 year old Jonjo Heuerman from Dartford is on the list, after his committed sacrifice to raise money to beat cancer. The teenager who walked and cycled thousands of miles across Britain for a number of years raised over £200,000 for the cancer course and attracted celebrity support from footballers Rio and Anton Ferdinand and Steven Gerrard, and collected nearly £250,000 to help beat cancer
An MBE was also awarded to Agnes Grunwald-Spier, who is a founder and former trustee of the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust which promotes and supports Holocaust commemorations in Britain.
Born in Budapest in 1944, she narrowly avoided being sent to Auschwitz as a baby.
She said of the award: “Naturally I am absolutely thrilled. Lots of people do what I have done but don’t get acknowledged..
