I apologise to anyone who may have taken offence at any of my comments,” Fury said in a statement. “I said some things, which may have hurt some people, which as a Christian man is not something I would ever want to do.
“Though it is not an excuse, sometimes the heightened media scrutiny has caused me to act out in public. I mean no harm or disrespect to anyone and I know more is expected of me as an ambassador of British boxing and I promise in future to hold myself up to the highest possible standard.
“Anyone who knows me personally knows that I am in no way a racist or bigot and I hope the public accept this apology.”
He's had his knuckles rapped clearly, been essentially ordered to make an apology and to keep his mouth shut in future.

I don't think he should face penalties or be banned from the sport or anything like that - but "sports personality of the year"? It doesn't really seem appropriate IMO. Again, if these had been dumb throwaway comments he made when he was much younger I'd be more inclined to give the benefit of the doubt... but it wasn't, it was only a couple of years ago, as an adult.
