Tyson Fury, heavyweight champion, spoke to talkSPORT via phone
A man was arrested earlier today for murdering Fury’s cousin in the fatal attack.
TalkSport's heavyweight boxing champion, the heavyweight boxing champ, called on the government to tighten its action against knife crime before condemning the "cowardly".
He stated that he had just witnessed a cousin being murdered with a knife crime. This is the most cowardly thing anyone can do.
"The government, the UK is supposed to be one the most secure countries in the world.
"We cannot go down the street without a watch or any other device or else we'll be stabbed."
The Gypsy King suggested that the government should make it harder on cowards who are carrying knives and weapons.
Fury claimed then that anyone caught using a knife to stab someone "needs casting"
The boxing star also demanded "5-7 years" imprisonment for carrying a knife.
He said, "It costs too much for the government to house them in prison."
They spend PS60/70,000 per year to send these scumbags to jail. Castrate the little b*stards.
"What cowardly scumbag should not have a knife in their country?"
