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.

He says he was misquoted, and also we don't know what mental state he was in, he has apologised and moved on

He allegedly has donated his 7 million purse from the first Wilder fight to Alcohol and Drug Charities in the UK? learning from your mistakes and championing charities is role model stuff to me, who here hasn't made a mistake in life?
