F*** Off !
Think 1000's of nurses and doctors deserve it much more than someone who beats the shit out of other people, whatever his mental health
I'm not overly keen on giving someone that associates themselves with a gangster, drug dealer and murderer a knighthood.

No sportsman should be give a gong just Because they are good at Sport, they should be rewarded for their other contributions like charity work, eg Rashford.

About as much chance as Fury becoming a Sir, as in no chance! And rightly so...
Personally I feel to award Fury the title of Sir would be a snub to the memory of the boxing Sir - Sir Henry Cooper. Now there was a man of class who deserved his title.

If AJ isn't made a Sir why the hell would Fury?!

I agree , he’s the last sportsman I would give a knighthood too . His manager is no better either .
Because he has lost 2 times recently, and didn't face the most dangerous man on the planet 3 times, and won each time despite the judges calling the first fight a draw.

Because AJ is not a world champion for one.

He'd probably turn it down anyway.
That was my feeling, too. For sporting achievement, little Lewis Hamilton has to be next. I don't have a problem with gongs for derring do, but this would feel a bit like a 'you were quite good at boxing and this was a bit of a surprise given your mental health issues' prize. Let him unify the heavyweight division first. Then he can join Sir Lennox Lewis.
Oh, hang on....
Good fishing but Lennox Lewis would have been a more clever and amusing suggestion.
Ah, but if you'd said him we would have to have assumed you meant it.
You done me again, you b'stard
